Here is a preview of the main card lightweight bout set to take place at UFC 315 in Montreal, featuring Benoit Saint Denis against Kyle Prepolec.
Benoit Saint Denis, holding a record of 13-3 with 1 No Contest, is looking to get back on track in the highly competitive lightweight division after suffering consecutive losses. Following an impressive run of five straight finishes, Saint Denis faced top contender Dustin Poirier, losing via second-round knockout despite a determined effort. His next outing resulted in a decisive loss to Renato Moicano, marking the first time in his career he`s lost two fights in a row. A strong performance is vital for Saint Denis to remain relevant in the top-15 rankings discussion.
The durable Kyle Prepolec, with a record of 18-8, makes his return to the UFC octagon, competing under the promotion`s banner for the first time since 2019. Prepolec accepted this fight on less than a week`s notice as a replacement for the injured Joel Alvarez. He is aiming for his maiden UFC victory, having gone 0-2 during his previous tenure. Since his most recent UFC appearance, the Canadian fighter Prepolec has compiled a solid 4-1 record on the regional circuit, highlighted by first-round finishes in his last three bouts.
