Conor McGregor settles Proper No. Twelve whiskey dispute with Artem Lobov

Conor McGregor has settled a legal dispute with former sparring partner Artem Lobov over the sale of the Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand. Lobov had filed a lawsuit demanding 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 in Dublin High Court, but the parties reached an agreement before trial. McGregor released a statement saying he was satisfied the matter was resolved and could focus on training for an upcoming summer fight, while thanking Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business. Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome, though settlement terms were not disclosed. McGregor did not attend the court proceedings and has not fought since his July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier.
