Conor McGregor calls ex-pal Artem Lovov a "f***ing idiot" as he celebrates a victory in court amid Proper No12 Whiskey lawsuit

CONOR MCGREGOR branded his former pal Artem Lobov a “f***ing idiot” after winning a court battle against the ex-fighter.

Lobov filed a multi-million lawsuit against McGregor claiming he played a significant role in the creation of Proper No. Twelve Whiskey.

McGregor, 34, founded the whiskey brand in 2018 before selling it for £500million in 2021 and had denied Lobov’s allegation.

And after a court verdict found in his favour he took to social media to insult Lobov, labelling him a “rat”.

McGregor wrote on Twitter: “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***ing idiot.

“I’m not paying these lawyers nothing. Little rartem is.

“The business genius with his college degree. F***ing jack… it’s deeper than the dough for me. Put it on me box.”

Lobov, 36, is now set to sue McGregor for a second time, alleging the Irishman embarked on “a concerted social media barrage” with the intent of harassing, intimidating and defaming him.

Lobov also alleged McGregor’s father Tony sought to harass him via Instagram.

The shock allegations came to light via the Commercial Court, with Lobov saying the pair’s alleged actions are subject of further proceedings, “not least for defamation”.
