Benoit Saint Denis thinks his loss to Dustin Poirier earlier this year made him a better fighter.
Saint Denis (13-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) will look to prove it Saturday when he competes for the first time since his second-round knockout defeat to “The Diamond” in March when he meets Renato Moicano (19-6-1 MMA, 11-5 UFC) in the UFC Fight Night 243 headliner at Accor Arena in Paris (ESPN+).
The Frenchman is the star of the event on his home soil, and it’s a chance to show the result against Poirier wasn’t a defining peak in his career. In fact, he sees it as a pivotal point of education for how he can keep climbing even higher.
