Conor McGregor settles whiskey business dispute with Artem Lobov

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 seeking a share of profits after McGregor reportedly sold his stake in Proper 12 to Proximo Spirits in 2021 for over $130 million. The case was scheduled for Wednesday in Dublin High Court but was resolved before proceedings began. McGregor issued a statement saying he was satisfied the matter was settled and could now focus on training for an upcoming summer fight, while thanking Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business. Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome, though financial terms were not disclosed. McGregor last fought in July 2021 when he suffered a broken leg against Dustin Poirier.
