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 concerning McGregor's Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand. Lobov had filed a lawsuit demanding a share of profits from the sale of the brand, which McGregor sold to Proximo Spirits in 2021 for over $130 million. The case was scheduled for hearing at Dublin's High Court but was resolved before proceedings began. McGregor's attorney read a statement saying he was satisfied with the resolution and could now focus on training and his upcoming summer fight. Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome. The specific terms of the settlement were not disclosed. McGregor has not fought since July 2021, when he lost to Dustin Poirier after suffering a broken leg in the first round.
