Joël Álvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis train together ahead of their fights

Joël Álvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis have started a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, working under coach Nicolas Ott. The two were scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but the bout fell through. Now they are helping each other prepare for their upcoming contests. Álvarez will face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis does not yet have an announced opponent. Álvarez revealed that Saint-Denis reached out to arrange the training partnership and hinted that the Frenchman may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style.
