Within the UFC 315 event in Montreal, a lightweight bout will take place between Benoit Saint Denis and Kyle Prepolec.
Benoit Saint Denis enters this fight aiming to snap a two-fight losing streak. These setbacks followed an impressive run of five consecutive finish victories. After suffering losses to top fighters like Dustin Poirier and Renato Moicano, Saint Denis dropped in the rankings. Now, he desperately needs a win to make his case again among the lightweight division`s elite.
His opponent, Kyle Prepolec, returns to the UFC octagon for the first time since 2019, taking this fight on short notice in place of the injured Joel Alvarez. Prepolec previously had two bouts in the UFC and lost both. However, since his last appearance in the promotion, he has secured four wins in five fights, including three consecutive first-round finishes.
