Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis begin joint training camp in France

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis have started training together in Bayonne, France, under the guidance of coach Nicolas Ott. The two were scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but the bout never materialized. Alvarez is preparing to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis does not yet have a fight announced. Alvarez mentioned that Saint-Denis likely has an upcoming bout against an opponent with a similar style to his own, though the French fighter hasn't revealed details about his next matchup.
