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 the guidance of 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 help each other prepare for their upcoming fights. Alvarez is set to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint Denis does not yet have an announced fight. Alvarez revealed that Saint Denis reached out to arrange the training partnership and hinted that the Frenchman may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style.
