Images have surfaced online of Benoit Saint-Denis just hours out from his UFC 315 fight against Kyle Prepolec and fans are concerned.
Originally, Benoit Saint-Denis was scheduled to take on Joel Alvarez this Saturday at UFC 315 in Montreal, however, Alvarez withdrew from the fight just over a week out.
The Frenchman was then called out by several lightweight contenders but seemingly turned them down and instead accepted a fight against the unranked UFC debutant, Kyle Prepolec, which frustrated the fans.
And now just a few hours out from their fight in Montreal, fans have raised concerns with ‘God of War’ after images have surfaced online.
Fans question Benoit Saint-Denis after images surface online
The 29-year-old is riding a two fight losing streak after being extremely close to a title shot in 2023, now hoping to return to the win column once again.
Ahead of his fight against Dustin Poirier, fans noticed that Saint-Denis had staph infection after images surfaced online, which became a huge talking point after their fight.
And now just hours out from his fight at UFC 315, fans have questioned whether the Frenchman is once again going into his fight compromised.
“Does bro have staph again?” a fan questioned with an image of Saint-Denis at the official weigh-ins with a mark on his forehead, the same place he had staph infection on before.
“Does he not shower after training?” another fan questioned.
“Just take a shower bro,” another fan said.
“Dude’s allergic to showering after practice,” another fan commented.
Where does Benoit Saint-Denis fit in lightweight division?
Despite once coming seemingly close to a title shot, Saint-Denis has regressed massively over his last few fights and getting a win over Prepolec this Saturday wouldn’t exactly do much for him.
Having said that, if the Frenchman walks out of Montreal with a win, he would undoubtedly earn a fight against a top 15 contender again, potentially allowing him to regain some of the hype he lost.
