Yoel Alvarez training with Benoit Saint Denis in France ahead of UFC 328

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicholas Ott. The two lightweights were scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but the bout fell through and they are now training partners. Alvarez is preparing for his UFC 328 fight against Yaroslav Amosov on May 9, while Saint Denis does not yet have a bout announced. According to Alvarez, Saint Denis initiated the training partnership and may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style, though the French fighter has not revealed his next matchup.
