Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis train together in Bayonne

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under the guidance of coach Nicolas Ott. The two fighters were scheduled to face each other a year ago, but the bout never materialized. Now they are helping each other prepare for their upcoming fights. Alvarez revealed that Saint Denis contacted him to arrange the training partnership and suggested Saint Denis may have a fight scheduled against an opponent with a similar style. Alvarez is set to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint Denis' next bout has not yet been announced.
