Islam Makhachev begins training camp, targets July return against Morales

Islam Makhachev has started training camp and is targeting a July return to the octagon. The lightweight champion wants to fight in July, and Michael Morales has reportedly signed a contract for the bout. The post suggests this matchup is moving forward, though no official announcement has been made by the UFC. Makhachev has been out of action and is looking to defend his title or compete in a high-profile matchup. The signing by Morales indicates serious negotiations are underway for this potential summer showdown.
