The UFC lightweight champion hasn't fought since September 2019, when he defended his title against Dustin Poirier at UFC 242.
He was supposed to face Tony Ferguson at UFC 249 last April until the global pandemic forced him out of the clash.
The undefeated fighter is slated to take on UFC interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje in September at UFC 253.
However, the devastating loss of his father could postpone the UFC championship bout.
