Report: Saint Denis draws Alvarez at UFC 315 in Montreal

Benoit Saint Denis will face Joel Alvarez in a lightweight bout at UFC 315 on May 10 in Montreal, sources told MMA Fighting's Mike Heck.

Saint Denis, the No. 13-ranked lightweight, is looking to snap a two-fight skid consisting of stoppage losses to Renato Moicano and former interim champion Dustin Poirier. The 29-year-old Frenchman had previously won five straight.

Alvarez, unranked in the division, is riding a three-bout winning streak. The 32-year-old Spaniard is coming off a first-round TKO of Drakkar Klose last December. His only loss in the past six years came against current No. 1 contender Arman Tsarukyan.

A welterweight title bout between champion Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena is scheduled to headline UFC 315 at Bell Centre, which marks the promotion's first trip to Montreal in a decade.
