Artem Lobov says he came up with Proper Twelve, rejected $1M offer from Conor McGregor

UFC veteran Artem Lobov says he is the brains behind the idea of Proper Twelve Whiskey. In his recent interview with TalkSport, “The Russian Hammer,” who is apparently writing a book, spoke about how it all happened.

“The selling point of my book will be the Proper 12 Whiskey story. A few people know, but this was actually my idea. I was the person who came up with the idea to do a whiskey for Conor,” he said.

According to Lobov, the nudge came from Game of Thrones actor Hafþór Björnsson (a.k.a The Mountain).
