Joël Álvarez and Benoît Saint Denis train together in France ahead of fights

Joël Álvarez and Benoît Saint Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under the coaching of Nicolas Ott. The two lightweights were scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but the bout fell through. Now they are helping each other prepare for upcoming fights. Álvarez is scheduled to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint Denis does not yet have a fight announced. Álvarez mentioned that Saint Denis reached out to arrange the training partnership and suggested the Frenchman may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style, though no details were confirmed.
