Islam Makhachev begins camp for July return, Moraes signs bout agreement

Islam Makhachev has started his training camp for a potential return in July, according to this report. Michael Moraes has signed a contract for a fight, though the post does not explicitly state whether Moraes is Makhachev's opponent. The post uses suggestive language implying a connection between these two pieces of information, asking what this tells us. However, the details are limited and no official announcement or confirmation of a Makhachev vs Moraes matchup is provided. The lightweight champion appears to be targeting a summer return to the octagon. Further official confirmation would be needed to verify the opponent and specific date.
