French fighter Benoît Saint Denis faces American Dustin Poirier on Saturday in Miami at UFC-299, for a first fight against a star of the discipline. At 28 years old, this former member of the special forces is a model for many young people and his journey inspires, even 6,000 km from Paris, in Martinique.
“He’s truly a top athlete.” “Saint Denis is France, he never gives up,” says Yoan, who happily remembers the few hours spent with this champion during an internship.
