Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis train together ahead of their fights

Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under the coaching of Nicolas Ott. The two fighters were originally scheduled to face each other a year ago, but the bout fell through. Alvarez is preparing for his fight against Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint Denis does not yet have a fight announced. According to Alvarez, Saint Denis reached out to arrange the training session, and Alvarez believes Saint Denis may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to his own, though Saint Denis has not revealed who that opponent might be.
