Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis train together in France

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 upcoming fights. Alvarez will face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis' next opponent has not been announced. According to Alvarez, Saint-Denis reached out to arrange the training partnership and hinted he may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to Alvarez, though he didn't reveal who.
