Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis training together in France ahead of upcoming bouts

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, working under coach Nicolas Ott. The two lightweights were scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but the bout fell through. Now they're helping each other prepare for their respective upcoming fights. Alvarez is scheduled to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9th, while Saint Denis does not yet have an announced bout. According to Alvarez, Saint Denis reached out to arrange the training partnership, and the Frenchman may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to Alvarez, though he hasn't revealed the name.
