Conor McGregor settles whiskey business dispute with Artem Lobov

Conor McGregor has reached a settlement with former sparring partner Artem Lobov over a legal dispute regarding McGregor's Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand. Lobov had filed a lawsuit demanding a share of profits from the brand, which McGregor reportedly sold to Proximo Spirits in 2021 for over $130 million. The case was scheduled for hearing in Dublin High Court on Wednesday, but parties reached an agreement before proceedings. McGregor's legal team read a statement expressing satisfaction with the resolution and noting he can now focus on training for an upcoming summer fight. The judge praised the settlement as reasonable and noted it saved court time. Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome, while McGregor did not attend the court hearings.
