Islam Makhachev has hinted at a potential return to the octagon in July 2026. The lightweight champion's social media activity suggests he is targeting a summer comeback. Notably, Conor McGregor is also expected to return during the same month as part of International Fight Week. This timing could set up a blockbuster summer schedule for the UFC. Makhachev's hint was made via a phone emoji followed by "July?" but no opponent or specific date has been confirmed. The post notes the coincidence of both superstars potentially competing in the same window.
