Conor McGregor settles legal dispute with Artem Lobov over whiskey business

Conor McGregor has resolved a lawsuit filed by former sparring partner Artem Lobov regarding profits from the Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand. Lobov had sued McGregor seeking a share of the proceeds after McGregor reportedly sold his stake in Proper 12 to Proximo Spirits in 2021 for over $130 million. The case was scheduled for hearing in Dublin High Court on Wednesday, but the parties reached a settlement agreement before proceedings began. McGregor's attorney read a statement saying he is satisfied with the resolution and can now focus on training for an upcoming summer fight, while also thanking Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business. Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome. McGregor did not attend the court hearings, and the financial terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
