Alvarez and Saint Denis training together ahead of respective bouts

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Ott. The two fighters were scheduled to face each other a year ago, but that bout never materialized. Now they're helping each other prepare for upcoming fights. Alvarez is set to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint Denis doesn't have an announced bout yet. 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 to Alvarez's, though Saint Denis hasn't disclosed who that opponent might be.
