Former MMA fighter Artem Lobov has filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against Conor McGregor alleging he is entitled to a percentage of McGregor's earnings in the sale of the Proper Twelve Irish Whiskey brand.
Shane Phelan of the Irish Independent reported Lobov says he is entitled to five percent of the $600 million McGregor made when he sold a majority of Proper Twelve in 2021.
Lobov and McGregor were longtime friends and training partners. The Russian says he was instrumental in helping McGregor not only develop the brand but also in the decision to choose whiskey over a vodka venture.
