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 lightweights were scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but the bout fell through. Now they are working together as training partners. Alvarez is preparing for his UFC 328 fight against Yaroslav Amosov on May 9, while Saint-Denis does not yet have a bout announced. Alvarez suggested that Saint-Denis may be preparing for an opponent with a similar fighting style to his own, though Saint-Denis has not revealed details.
