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 fight each other a year ago, but that bout never materialized. Now they're working together to prepare for their upcoming assignments. Alvarez is set to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9th, while Saint Denis does not yet have a fight announced. According to Alvarez, Saint Denis reached out to arrange the training partnership, and he believes the Frenchman may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to his own, though no specific name was mentioned.
