Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis training together in France

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Otte. The two fighters were previously scheduled to face each other a year ago, but the bout never materialized. Now they are helping each other prepare for their respective fights. Alvarez will compete against Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint Denis does not have an announced bout yet. According to Alvarez, Saint Denis reached out to arrange the training partnership, and the Spanish fighter believes Saint Denis may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to his own, though Saint Denis has not revealed the name.
