Islam Makhachev continues hinting at July return to Octagon

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has continued to drop hints on social media about a potential return to competition in July. The post is part of a news digest that also mentions other developments including Dustin Poirier commenting on Conor McGregor's possible return, Dana White sharing construction photos from the White House event venue, new sparring footage between Arnold Allen and Khamzat Chimaev, and Carlos Ulberg beginning knee rehabilitation. Makhachev's repeated suggestions about a July comeback indicate he may be targeting that timeframe for his next title defense, though no official announcement has been made.
