Artem
Lobov has renewed his feud with Conor
McGregor despite the former friends settling their legal
dispute over the Proper No. 12 whiskey brand earlier this year.
In social media posts Monday, Lobov accused McGregor of breaking
financial promises to friends and teammates. He also alleged that
McGregor sent people to burn his car and threaten his mother. The
allegations have not been independently verified.

Artem Lobov alleges Conor McGregor sent people to threaten his
mother and burn his car after the former friends settled their
Proper No. 12 dispute
The exchange began when Lobov responded to a post about McGregor’s
next
Ultimate Fighting Championship appearance, dismissing the
significance of it being the final bout on his current
contract.
When McGregor supporters challenged him, Lobov expanded on his
allegations of unpaid financial commitments and claimed substance
abuse had contributed to the breakdown of McGregor’s
relationships.
“He took care of nobody, he f**ked over his coach and all his best
friends Lee, Derek, Gerry Vegas, Charlie, myself and others,” Lobov
claimed. “Shook hands on different deals that they brought in,
money came in but he didn’t pay what was promised. And he got
‘Proper Fcked’ on his whiskey deal that I negotiated and his
manager Audie stole from him and me. I showed him unmatched
loyalty, I don’t say that lightly as a 40-year-old man.”
He continued, “He got $100M for Mayweather what did John get???
$100K if even, meant to be 5 percent but he never paid that for any
of his fights. He fired his best mate Derek, father of three kids,
weeks before Christmas over something Derek said that Conor didn’t
like. Paid Lee, the founder and director of [The Mac Life] 500
euros per week before tax for years, agreed to pay Gerry 10K at the
start and 10K at the end of the camp, then wouldn’t pay the second
10K. Thats just a few examples.”
Lobov also accused McGregor of directing intimidation against him
and his family.
“I was at SBG every Tuesday and Thursday all these years, didn’t
see him anywhere,” Lobov wrote. “He went on X, sent people to burn
my car and threaten my 60-year-old mother with a hammer, but never
had the balls to call my number directly.
“I am the godfather of always showing up, taught Conor how to be a
real fighter. But he calls me out at 4 a.m. haha thats ‘junkie
o’clock,‘ I was asleep with my kids. Allegedly, of course.”
Lobov also reflected on their former friendship, recalling
McGregor’s support during his dispute with Khabib
Nurmagomedov’s team before the UFC
223 bus incident.
