Artem Lobov's Lawyer Eyes Fast Track Court for Conor McGregor-Whiskey Brand Lawsuit

Former UFC fighter Artem Lobov is suing Conor McGregor, alleging he helped found Proper No. Twelve whiskey and should receive a cut from the profits McGregor, his former teammate, earned when he sold his shares of the company.

"I cannot make any comment at this stage except to say that we intend to apply in the next few weeks to have the case admitted to the Commercial Division [Fast Track Court] of the High Court," said Lobov's attorney, Dermot McNamara, in a statement to ESPN's Marc Raimondi.

The Independent's Shane Phelan reported Wednesday that Lobov is requesting 5 percent of McGregor's payout.
