Former WWE superstar and current mixed martial artist CM Punk has hinted at a return to the octagon this summer. Punk, who hasn’t been seen inside the cage since his professional debut loss to Mickey Gall at UFC 203, started up the rumour mill by responding to a tweet from UFC’s official Twitter account.

This news comes after the promotion announced that UFC 225 will be held in Chicago this June, which is, of course, Punk’s hometown.
