Joël Álvarez and Benoît Saint Denis train together in France ahead of UFC 328

Joël Álvarez and Benoît Saint Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Otta. The two lightweight contenders were scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but the bout fell through. Now they are training partners, with Álvarez preparing for his UFC 328 clash against Yaroslav Amosov on May 9. Saint Denis does not yet have a fight announced. Álvarez revealed that Saint Denis reached out to arrange the training camp and hinted that the Frenchman may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to his own, though no opponent has been confirmed.
