Conor McGregor settles legal dispute with Artem Lobov over whiskey business

Conor McGregor has resolved his legal dispute with former sparring partner Artem Lobov regarding the Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand. Lobov had filed a lawsuit against McGregor seeking a share of profits from the brand, which McGregor reportedly sold to Proximo Spirits in 2021 for over $130 million. The case was scheduled for hearing at the High Court in Dublin on Wednesday, but the parties reached a settlement before proceedings. McGregor's attorney read a statement saying McGregor is satisfied the matter is resolved and can focus on training for his upcoming summer fight, thanking Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business. Lobov stated he is happy with the outcome, though the specific settlement amount was not disclosed. McGregor has not fought since his loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
