Islam Makhachev hints at July octagon return, same month as McGregor

Islam Makhachev has hinted at a potential return to the UFC octagon in July. The timing is notable as it coincides with Conor McGregor's expected comeback during International Fight Week that same month. Makhachev's cryptic message suggests he may be targeting a summer return, though no official opponent or date has been announced. The possibility of both stars competing in the same time frame could create significant promotional opportunities for the UFC. Further confirmation of Makhachev's plans is awaited.
