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 lightweights were scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but the bout never materialized. Now they are helping each other prepare for upcoming fights. Alvarez is set to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9th, while Saint-Denis does not yet have a confirmed opponent. Alvarez revealed that Saint-Denis contacted him to arrange the training partnership and suggested the French fighter may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style, though no details were shared.
