Rumors started to circulate earlier this year that a former UFC star could make up for a comeback.
Videos from Zabit Magomedsharipov in training have fans talking about whether the former featherweight competition would make his way back to the Octagon.
The return was plagued by his teammates with more images that Magomedsharipov worked with Islam Makhachev last month.
For a long time, the 34-year-old is considered one of the largest 'Wat-IFS' in the entire sport after he had stepped out of his career of the Octagon during the prime.
Magomedsharipov has even rejected a UFC title shot to come back, but his manager has now hinted that it is finally the right time for a huge return.
