Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis train together in France for upcoming bouts

Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis have started 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 and now they are training partners. Alvarez is preparing for his fight against Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis does not yet have a fight announced. Alvarez revealed that Saint-Denis contacted him to arrange the training session and suggested he may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to Alvarez, though no details were shared.
