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 Ott. The two lightweights were scheduled to face each other a year ago, but the fight fell through, and now they are helping each other prepare. Alvarez is set to fight Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9th, while Saint Denis does not yet have an announced bout. According to Alvarez, Saint Denis reached out to arrange the joint training, suggesting the French fighter may have an upcoming opponent with a similar style to Alvarez, though Saint Denis has not disclosed any specific details. This collaborative approach demonstrates the professional respect between the two fighters.
