UFC 315 Update: Joel Alvarez to Face Benoit St. Denis in Montreal

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.
