Islam Makhachev is eyeing a return to the Octagon in the summer of 2024.
The reigning UFC lightweight world champion was last seen in October scoring his second-straight victory over featherweight titleholder Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 294. Effectively closing out his rivalry with ‘The Great,’ Makhachev is ready for a fresh matchup at 155.
Speaking with MMA Squad, the ‘Dagestani Destroyer’ revealed that his next fight is being targeted for June or July of this year.
“June/July I have next fight,” Makhachev said I did just one training every day, nothing like hard.
