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

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis have started training together at a camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Ott. The two lightweights were scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but that bout never materialized. Now they are working as training partners to help each other prepare for upcoming fights. Alvarez is scheduled to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9th, while Saint-Denis does not have an announced opponent yet. Alvarez suggested that Saint-Denis may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to his own, though Saint-Denis has not revealed details about his next fight.
