"I cannot wait to fight on Saturday night, because we don't have the opportunity every day to show the world, against world-class opposition, what type of progress we have made,"
"It's been almost a year now, like over six months that I've been working with an MMA head coach, and I feel like I'm really a better fighter now. And I cannot wait to be at MSG for game day,"
"blessed, because he changed the way I see fighting. Of course I'm still the 'seek and destroy' guy everybody loves, but I'm putting stuff inside the recipe to get the job done against anybody. And to take this fight, and take my future fights very seriously. That's all."
Benoit Saint-Denis will open the UFC 322 main card against Beneil Dariush at Madison Square Garden. Saint-Denis enters the fight following back-to-back losses to Dustin Poirier and Renato Moicano. He recently hired an MMA head coach after years of running his own fight camps, which he credits with improving his technical and tactical approach. Saint-Denis describes himself as still aggressive but now adding strategic elements to his game plan. The official rankings place Dariush at #9 and Saint-Denis at #13. Saint-Denis views the matchup as an honor and an opportunity to showcase measurable progress on a global stage.
