A key witness in McGregor’s whiskey lawsuit seeks delay due to health issues, prompting court review.

A key witness in Conor McGregor’s legal dispute over the Proper Number Twelve whiskey brand has requested a delay due to serious health issues, prompting a High Court adjournment to review medical evidence. The case involves Artem Lobov, a former MMA sparring partner, who claims he co-created the brand in October 2017 and had an oral agreement with McGregor, a date he revised after finding an old phone. The whiskey was sold for $600 million in 2021, with McGregor reportedly earning $130 million. The court will decide whether to grant the delay based on submitted medical documentation.
