McGregor settles legal dispute with Lobov over Proper 12 whiskey

Conor McGregor has settled a legal dispute with former sparring partner Artem Lobov regarding the Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand. Lobov had filed a lawsuit 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 Wednesday in Dublin's High Court, but the parties reached an agreement before proceedings. McGregor's lawyer read a statement saying McGregor is satisfied the matter is resolved and can now focus on training for his upcoming summer fight, while thanking Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business. Lobov stated after the hearing that he is happy with the outcome, though the financial terms were not disclosed. McGregor did not attend the court hearings and has not fought since July 2021 when he lost to Dustin Poirier with a broken leg.
