This text is dedicated to the lightweight bout at UFC 315 between Benoit Saint Denis and Kyle Prepolec, which took place on Saturday in Montreal at the Bell Centre arena as part of the main card.
Saint Denis (13-3, 1 NC) is looking to improve his position in the competitive lightweight rankings after two consecutive losses. Following a five-fight finish streak, Saint Denis faced top contender Dustin Poirier but lost by knockout in the second round despite a spirited effort. This was followed by a clear loss to Renato Moicano, marking the first losing streak of his career. Now he aims to return to the top 15 with a successful performance.
The durable Prepolec (18-8) is returning to the UFC, competing in the octagon for the first time since 2019. Prepolec agreed to the fight against Benoit Saint Denis on less than a week`s notice, replacing the injured Joel Alvarez. He is looking for his first UFC victory after his previous stint with the promotion where his record was 0-2. Since his last UFC fight, the Canadian Prepolec has gone 4-1, with his last three victories coming by first-round finish.
