McGregor reaches settlement with Lobov over Proper 12 whiskey lawsuit

Conor McGregor has settled a legal dispute with former sparring partner Artem Lobov over the Proper No. Twelve whiskey business. Lobov had filed a lawsuit 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 hearing in Dublin High Court but was resolved before proceedings began, with both parties' attorneys confirming an agreement was reached. McGregor issued a statement saying he was satisfied the matter was resolved and could now focus on training for an upcoming summer fight, while thanking Lobov for his contribution to the whiskey business. The judge praised the parties for reaching a reasonable settlement that avoided court time. Lobov stated he was happy with the outcome, though specific settlement terms were not disclosed.
