Conor McGregor settles legal dispute with Artem Lobov over whiskey business

Conor McGregor has reached a settlement with former sparring partner Artem Lobov regarding a lawsuit 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 in Dublin's High Court but was settled before proceedings. McGregor's attorney read a statement saying McGregor is satisfied with the resolution and can now focus on training for his upcoming summer fight. Lobov stated he is happy with the outcome. McGregor has not fought since July 2021 when he suffered a leg break in a loss to Dustin Poirier.
