Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis training together in France for UFC 328

Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France under coach Nicolas Ott. The two lightweights were originally scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but the bout never materialized. Alvarez is now preparing to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9. Saint Denis does not yet have a fight announced, though Alvarez suggested his French training partner may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style. The Spanish fighter believes Saint Denis contacted him to arrange the collaborative training session.
