Conor McGregor settles legal dispute with Artem Lobov over whiskey business

Conor McGregor has resolved a lawsuit filed by former sparring partner Artem Lobov concerning the Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand. Lobov had sued McGregor demanding a share of profits after McGregor reportedly sold his stake in Proper 12 to Proximo Spirits for over $130 million in 2021. The case was scheduled for hearing in Dublin's High Court but was settled before proceedings began. McGregor's attorney read a statement saying McGregor was satisfied with the resolution and thanked Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business, adding that he can now focus on training and his upcoming summer fight. Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome, though financial terms were not disclosed. McGregor has not fought since his July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier.
