Longtime buddy and training partner Lobov claimed to have given the Irishman the idea to launch an Irish whiskey company in August of this year.
In addition, HE said that he had declined the $1 million McGregor had given for the concept. The former UFC fighter claimed that McGregor would constantly offer him money in exchange for assistance
including his help in training camps, but he would always decline the cash.Fast-forward to this month, when Artem Lobov’s lawsuit against Conor McGregor shocked the MMA world.
‘The Russian Hammer’ has asked for 5% of the money McGregor made from selling most of his shares in his Irish whiskey company, ‘Proper Number 12’.
Thanks to the sale, McGregor made hundreds of millions of dollars and was named the highest-paid athlete of 2021.
Welch brought up the fact that in 2015, he and Lobov both participated in the same season of the TUF (The Ultimate Fighter) reality series for the UFC.
Welch implied that he saw Lobov gain from his connections to McGregor during his time on The Ultimate Fighter and subsequent UFC run.
