Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis train together in Bayonne for upcoming fights

Joel 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 to prepare for their respective upcoming matchups. Alvarez is set to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint Denis does not yet have a fight announced. Alvarez revealed that Saint Denis reached out to arrange the training partnership and suggested he may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style, though no specific name was mentioned.
