Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis training together in France

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Otta. The two lightweights were scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but the bout fell through. Now they're helping each other prepare for upcoming fights. Alvarez will face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint Denis' next opponent hasn't been announced yet. Alvarez 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 to Alvarez, though no specifics were shared.
