Conor McGregor’s feud with former friend Artem Lobov shows no signs of easing, as the UFC star recently celebrated a procedural court win in their ongoing legal battle.
Lobov, 36, filed a multi-million lawsuit against ‘The Notorious’ in November, claiming he had a sizeable role in the set up of McGregor’s Proper No 12 Irish Whiskey brand, sold in 2021 for just under £500million.
And after The Russian Hammer’s attempts to get the suit fast-tracked failed, McGregor took to Twitter to mock his former training partner, labelling him a ‘f***ing idiot’.

While the 34-year-old’s legal representatives formally denied Lobov’s claims, McGregor himself has consistently trolled Lobov, 36, on social media.
He posted a voice note singing ‘Artem is a rat’, before adding: ‘Artem you little jonny head, unlucky the other day in court, proper twelve day, but what did you expect? I want them court fees the judge awarded me also. Need them pal. F****** idiot.’
McGregor continued: ‘I’m not paying these lawyers nothing. Little rartem is. The business genius with his college degree. F***in jack***… it’s deeper than the dough for me. Put it on me box.’

McGregor has not fought in the UFC since August 2021, when he lost against Dustin Poirier
Lobov (13-15-1 (1)) was one of McGregor’s main sparring partners when he was on top in the UFC, and played a key role in McGregor’s feud with Khabib Nurmagomedov.
While McGregor, a former lightweight and featherweight double champion, has lost three of his last four fights, including twice against Dustin Poirier, losing the trilogy 2-1.
His last bout was against Poirier in August 2021, during which he broke his tibia, and has been recovering from the injury since then.
