Benoit Saint Denis sets sights on UFC fights in Manchester and Paris, with a renewed determination to become the champion

French lightweight fighter Benoit Saint Denis is on a mission to climb back to the top of the division after a recent setback against Dustin Poirier at UFC 299. Saint Denis, who returned to competition with a win over Marc Diakiese at ADXC 4, is eager to fight twice on European soil in 2024.

In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Saint Denis expressed his desire to stay active and make his way up the rankings. He is determined to become the champion and is ready to put in the work to achieve his goal. With his sights set on competing in both Manchester and Paris, Saint Denis is eager to showcase his skills and prove himself as a top contender in the lightweight division.

Having finished five opponents in a row before his loss to Poirier, Saint Denis is now looking for a tough challenge to prove his worth. He has his eye on top-ranked fighters like Islam Makhachev and Justin Gaethje, and is willing to face anyone the UFC puts in front of him.

As Poirier gears up for a title shot against Makhachev, Saint Denis sees the Russian fighter as the favorite to win. However, he believes that Poirier’s boxing skills could give him an edge in the matchup.

With his determination and hunger for success, Benoit Saint Denis is ready to make his mark in the lightweight division and show the world that he is a force to be reckoned with.
