UFC 329’s main and co-main events have been points of contention this fight week, as fans speculate whether Conor McGregor will finally show up, and whether co-main fighter Benoit Saint-Denis has a fight-risking infection.
Rumours circulated about Saint-Denis’ status after training photos were released showing the French fighter kicking a heavy bag. Fans zoomed in on the fighter’s foot, which appeared to be marred with a scab on the ankle. Soon enough, talks of staph infections took over UFC 329 fight week.
Saint-Denis quickly denied these claims in an interview with RMC Sports, claiming, “It’s not a staph infection.”
