Conor McGregor settles whiskey business dispute with Artem Lobov

Conor McGregor has reached a settlement with former sparring partner Artem Lobov over a lawsuit demanding a share of profits from the Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand. Lobov had filed suit after McGregor reportedly sold his stake in Proper 12 to Proximo Spirits in 2021 for over $130 million. The case was scheduled for hearing in Dublin High Court on Wednesday, but the parties reached an agreement before proceedings. In a statement read by his lawyer, McGregor said he is satisfied the matter is resolved and can now focus on training and his upcoming summer fight, thanking Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business. Lobov stated he is happy with the outcome, while the judge noted the settlement was reasonable and avoided wasting court time.
