A lightweight showdown pitting Joel
Alvarez against Benoit St.
Denis has been added to the UFC 315
lineup.
Eurosport was first to report the bout. UFC 315
takes place on May 10 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec,
Canada, and is headlined by a welterweight championship clash
between Belal
Muhammad and Jack
Della Maddalena.
Alvarez has been victorious in seven of his last eight Octagon
appearances, with all of those triumphs coming inside the distance.
Most recently, the Spaniard scored a first-round knockout of
Drakkar
Klose at UFC on ESPN 63 this past December.
After winning five straight contests from June 2022 to November
2023, St. Denis has been finished in back-to-back outings by
Dustin
Poirier and Renato
Carneiro. “God of War” has finished all 13 of his professional
victories.
