Alvarez and Saint-Denis train together in France ahead of respective bouts

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France under coach Nicolas Ott. The two lightweight contenders were originally scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but that bout never materialized. Now they are working together to help prepare for their upcoming fights. Alvarez will face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9th, while Saint-Denis' next opponent has not yet been announced. Alvarez revealed that Saint-Denis reached out to arrange the training partnership and suggested his upcoming opponent may have a similar fighting style.
