Conor McGregor settles Proper No. Twelve whiskey lawsuit with Artem Lobov

Conor McGregor has reached a settlement with former sparring partner Artem Lobov over a dispute regarding McGregor's Proper No. Twelve whiskey business. Lobov had filed a lawsuit seeking a share of profits after McGregor sold his stake in the brand to Proximo Spirits in 2021 for over $130 million. The case was scheduled for Wednesday in Dublin High Court but was resolved through negotiations before proceedings. McGregor released a statement saying he was satisfied the matter was settled and could now focus on training for an upcoming summer fight, while thanking Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business. Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome, and the judge noted the parties reached a reasonable agreement that avoided wasting court time on what was ultimately a negotiable matter.
