Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis train together in France ahead of 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 fights. Alvarez is scheduled to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint Denis' next fight has not yet been announced. Alvarez mentioned that Saint Denis initiated the training partnership and suggested his French teammate may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style.
