Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis start joint training camp in France

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis have begun training together in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Ott. The two fighters were originally scheduled to face each other a year ago, but that bout never materialized. Now they are helping each other prepare for upcoming fights. Alvarez is scheduled to fight Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint Denis does not yet have a confirmed opponent. Alvarez revealed that Saint Denis reached out to arrange the training camp and suggested he may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to Alvarez, though Saint Denis has not disclosed who that opponent might be.
