McGregor settles Proper 12 whiskey dispute with Lobov, avoids court trial

Conor McGregor reached a settlement with former sparring partner Artem Lobov regarding a lawsuit over the Proper No. Twelve whiskey business. 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 Wednesday in Dublin High Court but was resolved before trial. McGregor's statement read in court expressed satisfaction with the resolution and thanked Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business. Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome, though the specific settlement amount was not disclosed. The judge noted the parties reached a reasonable agreement that saved court time on what ultimately became a matter of negotiation.
