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 pair were originally scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but the bout fell through. Alvarez is preparing to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint Denis does not yet have an announced fight. Alvarez revealed that Saint Denis invited him to train together and suggested that the Frenchman may have an upcoming opponent with a similar style to his own, though no specific name was mentioned.
