This is the live blog introduction for the lightweight main card fight at UFC 315 in Montreal, featuring Benoit Saint Denis against Kyle Prepolec.
Benoit Saint Denis (13-3, 1 NC) aims to recover his standing in the highly competitive lightweight division after suffering two consecutive losses. Following a strong five-fight finishing streak, Saint Denis faced top contender Dustin Poirier, losing by second-round knockout in a tough contest. He then experienced a clear defeat against Renato Moicano, marking the first losing streak of his career. A successful performance here is crucial for him to remain in the conversation for the top 15.
Veteran fighter Kyle Prepolec (18-8) makes his return to the UFC Octagon, competing for the first time since 2019. Prepolec stepped in on less than a week`s notice as a replacement for the injured Joel Alvarez. He seeks his initial victory under the UFC banner, having previously gone 0-2 with the promotion. Since his last UFC fight, the Canadian Prepolec has achieved a 4-1 record, notably securing first-round finishes in his last three outings.
