Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis train together in France ahead of fights

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Ott. The two fighters were scheduled to face each other a year ago, but the bout fell through. Now they are helping each other prepare for their respective fights. Alvarez will face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis' next opponent has not been announced. Alvarez suggested that Saint-Denis may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to his own, though Saint-Denis has not confirmed who his next fight will be against.
