Islam Makhachev has started his training camp for an upcoming fight expected to take place in July or August, according to Shamil Zavurov in an interview with Ushatayka. The opponent has not yet been determined, though Zavurov believes negotiations are already underway internally. The UFC has not made any official announcement about the fight. The timing suggests Makhachev is preparing for a lightweight title defense or major bout in the summer.
