Fans fear UFC 315 star is suffering from staph infection after images surface online

Images have emerged online from Benoit Saint-Denis, only a few hours from his UFC 315 fight against Kyle Prepolec and fans were delivered.

Originally Benoit Saint-Denis was planned to take on Joel Alvarez this Saturday at UFC 315 in Montreal, but Alvarez withdrew from the fight just over a week.

The Frenchman was then called by various lightweight contenders, but seemed to be apparently off and instead accepted a fight against the non -bred UFC -Debutant, Kyle Prepolec, who frustrated the fans.

And now only a few hours of their fight in Montreal, fans have expressed concern about 'God of War' after images have surfaced online.

Fans ask Benoit Saint-Denis after images come up online

The 29-year-old drives a streak with two fights after he was extremely close to a title shot in 2023, now hoping to return to the win column.

In anticipation of his fight against Dustin Poirier, fans noted that Saint-Denis had a stack of infection after images appeared online, which became a huge talk point after their fight.

And now only a few hours from his fight on UFC 315, fans have wondered if the Frenchman is again in danger.

“Does Bro have Staph again?” A fan interviewed with an image of Saint-Denis at the official weightings with a stamp on his forehead, the same place on which he previously had a Staph infection.

“Don't he shower after training?” Another fan questioned.

His last fight in the UFC for BSD ???

“Just take a shower bro,” said another fan.

“Guy is allergic to shower after training,” said another fan.

Where does Benoit Saint-Denis fit in a lightweight division?

Although he once came close to a title shot, Saint-Denis has withdrawn enormously during his last pair of fights and winning a victory over Prepolec this Saturday would not do exactly much for him.

That said, if the Frenchman walks out of Montreal with a victory, he would undoubtedly again earn a fight against a top 15 -year -old, so that he could possibly regain part of the hype he lost.
