McGregor settles legal dispute with Lobov over Proper 12 whiskey profits

Conor McGregor has reached a settlement with former sparring partner Artem Lobov regarding a lawsuit over profits from the Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand. Lobov had filed a claim seeking a share of the proceeds after McGregor reportedly sold his stake in Proper 12 to Proximo Spirits in 2021 for over $130 million. The case was scheduled for a Wednesday hearing at the Dublin High Court, but was resolved before trial. McGregor's statement, read by his attorney, expressed satisfaction with the resolution and thanked Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business, adding that he can now focus on training and his upcoming summer fight. Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome, though the exact settlement amount was not disclosed. McGregor did not attend the court proceedings and has not fought since July 2021 when he suffered a broken leg against Dustin Poirier.
