McGregor and Lobov settle over Proper No. 12 profits

Conor McGregor and Artem Lobov have reached a settlement in a lawsuit over Lobov’s claimed 5% share of the profits from the sale of Proper No. 12. Lobov had argued there was a verbal agreement to reward his help in launching the whiskey; McGregor denied such an agreement. Proper No. 12 was sold to Proximo Spirits for $600 million in 2021, with McGregor reportedly earning over $100 million from the deal. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, and the case was slated to go to trial before the agreement was reached. McGregor is reportedly focused on a UFC comeback, with July’s UFC 329 in Las Vegas anticipated as a headlining event.
