Conor McGregor settles whiskey business dispute with Artem Lobov

Conor McGregor has resolved a legal dispute with former sparring partner Artem Lobov regarding the Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand. Lobov had sued McGregor seeking a share of profits after McGregor reportedly sold his stake in the brand to Proximo Spirits in 2021 for over $130 million. The case was scheduled for hearing at Dublin High Court but was settled before proceedings, with both parties reaching an agreement. McGregor released a statement saying he is satisfied with the resolution and can now focus on training for his upcoming summer fight, thanking Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business. Lobov stated 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 due to a leg fracture.
