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 helping each other prepare for upcoming fights. Alvarez is scheduled to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis does not yet have an announced bout. According to Alvarez, Saint-Denis reached out to arrange the training partnership, and the Frenchman hinted he may be preparing for an opponent with a style similar to Alvarez's, though he did not reveal who.
