Conor McGregor settles whiskey business dispute with Artem Lobov

Conor McGregor has resolved a legal dispute with former sparring partner Artem Lobov over the Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand. Lobov had filed a lawsuit demanding a share of profits from the brand, which McGregor sold to Proximo Spirits in 2021 for over $130 million. The case was scheduled for hearing at Dublin's High Court, but both parties reached a settlement before proceedings began. McGregor issued a statement through his lawyer saying he was satisfied with the resolution and could now focus on training and an upcoming summer fight. Judge John Jordan noted the parties had reached a reasonable agreement, while Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome. McGregor did not attend the court hearings, and his last octagon appearance was in July 2021 when he lost to Dustin Poirier due to a broken leg.
