Yoel Alvarez training with Benoit Saint-Denis in France ahead of UFC 328

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, working together under coach Nicolas Ott. The two fighters were scheduled to face each other a year ago, but that bout fell through, and now they are helping each other prepare. Alvarez is scheduled to fight Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis does not yet have an announced bout. Alvarez revealed that Saint-Denis reached out to arrange the training partnership and suggested Saint-Denis may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style, though no specific opponent was mentioned.
