UFC lightweight competition Benoit Saint-Denis turned into a star with a ridiculous knockout in Madison Square Garden.
Benoit Saint-Denis was a relatively unknown lightweight prospect that UFC 295 introduced, but left the legendary Madison Square Garden with the victory of his life, who deserved the attention of UFC-Superster Dustin Poirier.
Saint-Denis and New York Holetown Hero Matt FROPLA helped when starting the campaign on UFC 295, on a map that was originally led by Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic. After the withdrawal of Jones as a result of injury, the top of the card received a large link and the undercard fights were more pressure to deliver after the changes.
Saint-Denis confronted the pressure frontally and passed on what was the most difficult test of his UFC career with flag and pennant at the time.

Benoit Saint-Denis went against a hard branchedown with a timely staircase
Saint-Denis was confronted with an early adversity against FROLPA, because his opponent successfully achieved a large Takedown in the first seconds of the fight. But Saint-Denis, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, was able to work back to his feet quickly.
While the two rival lightweights rose the fight, Saint-Denis Fre clola had on the rear foot and landed a huge main kick that felled Freola. It was a highlight in the earth that shocked the crowd in Madison Square Garden.
The victory of Saint-Denis on UFC 295 not only earned him a place in the lightweight top 15, but also quickly attracted the attention of Poirier and the UFC matchmakers. Only a few months later he had compiled a UFC-PAY-PERVIEVER on UFC 299 against Poirier in a fight that met elevated expectations.

Benoit Saint-Denis has two stairs that he plays apart:
Middle Kick: Constant cracks on the open side of the body. These stairs destroyed Ismael Bonfim.
High stairs: focus on the head, often used to punish a fleeing opponent. Caught frola 👇iber.twitter.com/0igb6acwf6

Benoit Saint-Denis seems to overcome back-to-back TKO losses
Almost two years after the FROLPA fight, Saint-Denis had a similar fate as his former rival during his last two fights. He lost Van Poirier due to knockout on UFC 299, despite the fact that he was completed early in the beginning, before he fell to Renato Moicano in UFC Paris in September in September in September in September.
Fortunately for Saint-Denis, he does not have to wait long to possibly get back on the right track after his successive knockout losses. Saint-Denis will return against promising lightweight Joel Alvarez on UFC 315 in Montreal next weekend.
Win or loss, Saint-Denis is always a dangerous puzzle to solve, and he will try to return to the lightweight title mix with a victory over UFC 315.
