Joel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis have started training together at a camp in Bayonne, France, under coach Nicolas Ott. The two fighters were scheduled to face each other a year ago, but that bout never materialized. Now they are helping each other prepare for upcoming fights. Alvarez is confirmed to fight Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis does not yet have an announced opponent. Alvarez indicated that Saint-Denis may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to his own, though Saint-Denis has not revealed who his next opponent will be.
