Islam Makhachev hints at July octagon return

Islam Makhachev has hinted at a potential return to the octagon in July through a social media post. The lightweight champion's cryptic message suggests he is targeting a summer comeback. Notably, July is also the month when Conor McGregor is expected to return during International Fight Week. No official opponent or event has been confirmed for Makhachev's potential July bout. The timing raises speculation about possible high-profile matchups during that period.
