Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis train together in France ahead of UFC 328

Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Otta. The two lightweight fighters were scheduled to face each other a year ago, but the bout fell through. Now they are helping each other prepare for their upcoming fights. Alvarez is set to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis does not have a fight announced yet. Alvarez revealed that Saint-Denis reached out to arrange the training camp and believes the Frenchman will be matched against an opponent with a similar style to his own, though Saint-Denis has not disclosed who.
