""It's always about the way the fight goes, and to be honest, MMA is all about fighting as much as possible and winning as much as possible," he stated during this week's UFC Paris media day. "The opponent, it matters, but not as much as people think. The victory, and the quantity and quality of your fights is what matters most." Of course, Matusz Gamrot is the name Benoit Saint-Denis has most frequently been linked to over the past year."
""I would have loved to fight Matuesz Gamrot. It's a huge fight, and maybe we will face each other one day," stated Saint-Denis about the Polish lightweight, a former KSW champ. BSD also admitted to a bit of promotional trickery, urging Gamrot to sign a contract, though the Ruffy fight seems to be where the promotion was headed. "We tried to make this fight happen. I have to do my job on Saturday, and we'll see what the future gives us.""
Benoit Saint-Denis, a French lightweight ranked No. 13, will fight Mauricio Ruffy at UFC Paris after defeating Kyle Prepolec in May. Prepolec was a last-minute replacement, and Ruffy represents a higher-profile opponent from the Fighting Nerds team who sits a few spots behind Saint-Denis in the rankings. Saint-Denis emphasizes that MMA revolves around fighting frequently and winning, and that victory plus the quantity and quality of fights matters more than the opponent's name. Saint-Denis has been frequently linked to Matusz Gamrot, exchanged barbs with him, urged Gamrot to sign a contract, and said he feels honored to be inside the division's top 15.
