McGregor settles Proper 12 whiskey dispute with Artem Lobov out of court

Conor McGregor reached a settlement with former sparring partner Artem Lobov regarding a dispute over the Proper No. Twelve whiskey business. Lobov had filed a lawsuit demanding a share of profits from the brand, which McGregor sold to Proximo Spirits in 2021 for over $130 million. The case was scheduled for hearing in Dublin High Court but was resolved before proceedings began. McGregor's statement, read by his attorney, said he was satisfied the matter was settled and thanked Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business. Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome, though the settlement amount was not disclosed. The judge noted the parties reached a reasonable agreement that avoided consuming court time on what was ultimately a negotiable matter.
