Benoit Saint Denis wants Mateusz Gamrot after snapping losing skid
UFC 315 winner Benoit Saint Denis spoke to MMA Junkie and reporters post-fight after his second-round submission of Kyle Prepolec in Montreal.
MONTREAL – Benoit Saint Denis met the media Saturday after his win over Kyle Prepolec at UFC 315.
Saint Denis (14-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) got some early bits of resistance from Prepolec (18-9 MMA, 0-3 UFC), who took the fight on less than a week's notice to save Saint Denis' spot on the card when Joel Alvarez pulled out. But ultimately, he took over and submitted Prepolec midway into the first round.
Saint Denis, who was a massive betting favorite of more than 11-1 in the fight, snapped a two-fight skid and now is hoping for a chance at Mateusz Gamrot, who has claimed Saint Denis turned down a fight.
"The only problem is we never got any offer (from Gamrot) for (UFC 315)," Saint Denis said at his post-fight news conference. "I wanted to fight tonight. Now it's done. He knows better than everybody, all the fighters: When you have an opportunity to fight, you want to fight. You don't do a training camp for nothing.
"… I don't know what the UFC plans are with Gamrot, if he has a fight planned. But anybody in the top 10, it's an honor and a privilege (to fight them). It's going to be a war."
Gamrot (24-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) is set to fight Ludovit Klein at the end of the month.
