Sometimes, the green paper turns friends into foes, and such was the case with Conor McGregor. The ‘Mystic Mac’ has probably faced one of the greatest betrayals of his life after he got sued by his dear friend, Artem Lobov. ‘The Russian Hammer’ claimed to have a significant role in the launch of Proper No. 12. However, when McGregor decided to sell the brand for $600 million dollars, Lobov could not hold himself back.
He turned up and filed a lawsuit against his friend. Undeniably, McGregor is not one of those who keeps quiet when invoked. He turned to Twitter and released a barrage of tweets targeting the Russian. The heat was so high that nobody in the combat sports world was unaware, especially ‘Sugar’.

It is no secret that ‘Sugar’ looks up to the ‘Notorious’. But the recent heat between the Dubliner and the ‘Russian Hammer’ caught his attention.
Yee enquired the fighter about his opinion on the current dispute between the two former friends. O’Malley replied, “Yeah, I don’t know enough of the details to really talk about. But off the top of my head, it’s just kinda like the- It sucks. I mean, Conor has done so much for Artem, and you know, he was the only reason he was even in the UFC. He didn’t even had a name at all.”
Finally, the American mixed martial artist stood with his idol and claimed that Lobov was on the wrong path. “So, for Artem to do that, it’s kinda selfish. But money, you know, churns people into crazy people”, he said.
