McGregor settles legal dispute with Lobov over Proper 12 whiskey

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 suit demanding 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 on Wednesday at Dublin High Court, but the parties reached an agreement before proceedings. McGregor's lawyer read a statement on his behalf expressing satisfaction with the resolution and thanking Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business. Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome, though the specific terms of the settlement were not disclosed. McGregor did not attend the court hearings and last fought in July 2021 when he lost to Dustin Poirier with a broken leg in the first round.
