War drums sound to Joel Álvarez (22-3). According to ABC MMA exclusively, the fight between the Asturian fighter of the lightweight of the UFC and the Frenchman Benoit Saint Denis (13-3) It will take place at the UFC 315, which will be held in Montreal (Canada), on May 10. As this newspaper of Fuentes of all solvency has been confirmed, the contracts have already been signed and the UFC will soon announce the lawsuit.
This clash is, a priori, the last fight that Joel Álvarez will play on the light weight (155 pounds or 70.3 kilos), and as he had asked, it will be against a classified from the Top 15. Currently, and due to the last movements of the classification, Benoit Saint-Denis is the number 13. Suddenly, the Gijonés has again left the ranking, but to win this next fight, he would win this next fight, but he would win this following to the classification, even being able to reach above the fifteenth step of making a great performance.
On the part of the phenomenon, this comes in a great rise, since when recovering the visa and being able to fight in the United States, it has won in activity. This, as in all its victories, has ended its last three opponents, generating great expectation around it. Its impressive height for the category (1.93 meters) and its ability to finish the fights before the limit have made it one of the most dangerous of its division.
Instead, the Frenchman comes from an unattractive streak with two losses to the thread. In his rise to the top, Benoit Saint Denis seemed unstoppable, even ranging as a future champion. However, its meteoric climb was slowed by, curiously, the last two victims of Islam Makhachev, Dustin Poirier and Renato Moicano. Although both athletes agreed last Saturday at Wow 16, there will be no room for cordiality inside the cage, since both need to win by all media.
Thus, the UFC 315 would add another duel of much interest to its billboard. In the stellar event will be Belal Muhammad against Jack Della Maddalena, and in Co -Creelar Valentina Shevchenko Cnotra Manon Fiorot. Another confirmed combat is that of Alexa Grasso against Natalia Silva.
