McGregor settles Proper Twelve whiskey lawsuit with Lobov before trial

Conor McGregor has resolved his legal dispute with former sparring partner Artem Lobov over profits from the Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand. Lobov had filed suit demanding a share of profits after McGregor reportedly sold his stake in Proper 12 to Proximo Spirits in 2021 for over $130 million (£96 million). The case was scheduled for hearing Wednesday in Dublin's High Court, but Lobov's legal team informed the judge that an agreement had been reached. McGregor's attorney read a statement saying McGregor was satisfied the matter was resolved and could now focus on training for an upcoming summer fight. Lobov stated after the hearing that he was happy with the outcome, though settlement terms were not disclosed. McGregor did not attend the court proceedings and has not fought since suffering a broken leg against Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
