Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis train together in France

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Ott. The two fighters were scheduled to face each other a year ago, but that bout never materialized. Now they are helping each other prepare for upcoming fights. Alvarez revealed that Saint Denis reached out to arrange the training partnership and believes the Frenchman has a fight lined up against an opponent with a similar style to his own, though Saint Denis has not disclosed details. Alvarez is scheduled to fight Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint Denis's next bout has not been announced.
