Conor McGregor settles whiskey lawsuit with Artem Lobov out of court

Conor McGregor reached a settlement with former sparring partner Artem Lobov regarding a lawsuit over Proper No. Twelve whiskey profits. Lobov had sued McGregor demanding a share of profits after McGregor reportedly sold his stake in Proper 12 to Proximo Spirits for over $130 million in 2021. The case was scheduled for hearing in Dublin High Court but was settled before proceedings began. McGregor's statement expressed satisfaction with the resolution and thanked Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business, adding he can now focus on training for an upcoming summer fight. Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome, though the settlement amount was not disclosed. McGregor did not attend the court hearings and has not fought since his July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier due to a leg fracture.
