Islam Makhachev begins training camp, targets July return

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has started training camp and is targeting a return to the octagon in July. The post suggests this timeline is linked to Michael Morales having signed a contract for a fight, though the connection between the two is unclear from the limited information provided. Makhachev has been out of action since his last title defense and is looking to get back in the cage relatively soon. The July timeframe would give him a full training camp. No opponent has been officially announced for Makhachev's return.
