Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis train together in France after cancelled fight

Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Otta. The two fighters were scheduled to face each other a year ago, but the bout never materialized. Now they are helping each other prepare for upcoming fights. Alvarez is scheduled to fight Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9th, while Saint Denis' next bout has not yet been announced. According to Alvarez, Saint Denis reached out to arrange the training partnership, and the Spanish fighter believes Saint Denis may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to his own. The collaboration represents an interesting partnership between two former scheduled opponents.
