A true rising star in the UFC in recent months, Benoît Saint-Denis is now attracting the attention of all the biggest MMA fighters. Reigning bantamweight champion, Sean O’Malley has also given his honest opinion on the former French soldier a few days before UFC 299, where they will both be on display.
Here we are, only a few days left before the biggest fight of Benoît Saint-Denis’ career. the Frenchman is indeed preparing to take on a huge challenge at UFC 299 since he will face Dustin Poirier, who will compete there in his 30th fight within Dana White’s federation. A victory would bring Daniel Woirin’s protégé closer to a title shot, especially since the league believes in it.
Author of three victories in five months to conclude the year 2023, the Nîmes made headlines by stringing together powerful knockouts. Everyone in the UFC knows his name now, including a guy named Sean O’Malley. The American will also be there in Miami, who will defend his bantamweight title against Chito Vera.

Just like Dustin Poirier, the Habs are renowned for being a real war machine in the octagon, who never lets anyone who confronts him breathe even if it means receiving a few blows in the process. The kind of fighter that is very difficult to stop in his tracks and clearly “Suga” does not seem to want to fight it any time soon. His statement on BSD in any case ignited the French public:

Sean O’Malley and Benoît Saint-Denis will certainly never cross paths in a cage and according to the words of the bantamweight champion, it would not displease him like this. This shows how impressive the Nîmes is in the UFC and a victory against Dustin Poirier would allow him to further strengthen this status.
