UFC 315 live blog: Benoit Saint Denis vs. Kyle Prepolec

This is the UFC 315 live blog for Benoit Saint Denis vs. Kyle Prepolec, the main card lightweight bout Saturday at Bell Centre in Montreal.

Saint Denis (13-3, 1 NC) has to make up ground in the always hotly contested lightweight rankings after losing two straight fights. Following a five-fight finish streak, Saint Denis was given a top contender bout against Dustin Poirier and lost via second-round knockout despite a spirited effort. He followed that with a lopsided loss to Renato Moicano, a result that put him on the first losing streak of his carer. He seeks to stay in top-15 talk with a rebound performance.

The hardy Prepolec (18-8) makes his return to the UFC, competing inside the octagon for the first time since 2019. Prepolec was called in on less than a week’s notice to replace an injured Joel Alvarez and seeks his first UFC victory after going 0-2 with the promotion the first time around. Since his most recent UFC fight, Canada’s Prepolec has gone 4-1 with first-round finishes in his past three fights.
