Let&rsquo;s break down how these fighters stack up against each other.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">Statistiques g&eacute;n&eacute;rales &#128200;<br>Benoit Saint-Denis &#127467;&#127479; vs Kyle Prepolec &#127464;&#127462;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC315?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#UFC315<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6imCdQl1uh\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/6imCdQl1uh<\/a><\/p>&mdash; BOXEMAG (@BoxeMag_com) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BoxeMag_com\/status\/1921138602701910524?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 10, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/ufc-315-belal-muhammad-vs-jack-della-maddalena-best-bets-and-ufc-parlays\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC 315 &ndash; Belal Muhammad vs. Jack Della Maddalena Best Bets And UFC Parlays<\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benoit Saint Denis&rsquo; MMA Journey<\/h2><p>From the French military to the UFC octagon, Benoit Saint Denis has lived quite the life. His journey began in 2017 while still serving in the French Special Forces. Saint Denis initially picked up kickboxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu to improve his combat skills. Little did he know this would lead to a whole new career path. He quickly fell in love with the sport after winning an amateur tournament in Spain.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Benoit Saint-Denis has two kicks that he plays off of one another:<br><br>Middle Kick: Constantly ripping at the body's open side.

Most people might take a vacation after leaving a high-stress job, but not him. He joined the Bulgarian Top Team and racked up an impressive eight straight wins by finish. The pandemic slowed his momentum, but nothing could stop his rise. Saint Denis made his UFC debut in 2021 against Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos and faced his first professional loss.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Dropping to lightweight proved to be a smart move for the Frenchman. He strung together five impressive victories, including highlight-reel finishes of Matt Frevola and Thiago Moises. His aggressive style and military-like discipline made him a fan favorite and earned him a #13 ranking. Despite recent setbacks against Dustin Poirier and Renato Moicano, Saint Denis remains one of the most exciting prospects in the division. Now heading into UFC 315, he hopes to bounce back and continue his climb up the lightweight ladder.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benoit Saint Denis MMA Record<\/h3><figure class=\"wp-block-table alignwide\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>17 Fights<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Win<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Loss<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>By KO\/TKO<\/strong><\/td><td>4<\/td><td>2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>By Submission<\/strong><\/td><td>9<\/td><td>0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>By Decision<\/strong><\/td><td>3<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p><em>*Benoit Saint Denis has 1 No Contest on his resume as well.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kyle Prepolec MMA Journey<\/h2><p>The Canadian kickboxer started his MMA journey way back in 2008. While some current UFC stars were still in high school, Prepolec was already trading blows in the cage. He built his resume fighting across North American regional promotions. Even had a stint in Bellator facing tough opponents. Persistence pays off in this sport, and Prepolec earned it the hard way.<\/p><p>After capturing championships in two different promotions, the UFC finally came calling in 2019. Unfortunately, his first UFC run wasn&rsquo;t a fairy tale. Prepolec faced Nordine Taleb on short notice at welterweight. He was fighting a bigger opponent with just one week to prepare. His second bout against Austin Hubbard was competitive but ended in another decision loss. Just as the world shut down due to COVID-19, Prepolec received news of his UFC release while nursing an injury the same year he was signed.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Posting a HEADKICK KO EVERYDAY for one year!

I was instantly hooked on MMA after watching the fight between Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi back in 2014, and since then, i have been an avid writer with a deep love for the sport and its techniques, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the sport. My favorite aspect of working at The Playoffs is the creative freedom it provides. The diverse range of topics, from listicles and SEO to news articles, keeps me engaged and motivates me to continuously improve my skills! I aim to capture the excitement of the combat sports world in my writing, acting as the middleman between fighters and their die-hard fans. It is kind of like a referee, but with words!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zaid-quraishi-884927240?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/zaid\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51206"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51206"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51267,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51206\/revisions\/51267"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
