Artem Lobov has gone from considering Conor McGregor his best friend to his worst enemy.<\/a> The two were inseparable in the early days of Conor\u2019s UFC career, with Lobov a fixture in Mac training camps and Mac drafting Lobov onto The Ultimate Fighter when he coached.<\/p>\n

But things went sour after the McGregor-Mayweather fight. Lobov says he was the one who proposed McGregor start a whisky company and brought a ready made plan to \u201cThe Notorious.\u201d Years later he sued over McGregor allegedly refusing to pay out a promised 5% cut of the billion dollar business.<\/p>\n

McGregor and Lobov would settle<\/a> for an amount reported to be in the millions, but things got extremely ugly in the meantime. Lobov recently reminisced on how \u2018old Conor\u2019 was the most loyal but \u2018new Conor\u2019 screwed over all his old friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were brothers and had each others backs no matter what,\u201d Lobov wrote on X (formerly Twitter). \u201cThat Conor is no longer here unfortunately. He was a real man with unmatched skillset in the octagon and a heart of a lion, now he is just a lying junkie. In my opinion of course. I sure miss my old brother.\u201d<\/p>\n

After launching a lawsuit against McGregor, \u201cThe Notorious\u201d called for a gym fight to settle their grudge. According to Lobov, McGregor never showed up but did send lackeys to further threaten him \u2026 and his mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was at [Straight Blast Gym] every Tuesday and Thursday all these years, didnt see him anywhere,\u201d Lobov said of accusations he ducked a gym fight. \u201cHe went on X, sent people to burn my car and threaten my 60 year old mother with a hammer, but never had the balls to call my number directly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am the godfather of always showing up, taught Conor how to be a real fighter. But he calls me out at 4am haha that\u2019s junkie o\u2019clock, I was asleep with me kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lobov isn\u2019t the first person to accuse McGregor of sending people to intimidate his enemies. A woman who accused McGregor of assaulting her on his yacht<\/a> had her car firebombed, and Nikita Hand\u2019s home was invaded and her partner stabbed<\/a> after she filed civil court charges alleging he raped her.<\/p>\n

The woman from the yacht would end up dropping her case.<\/a> A civil court found McGregor guilty of assault,<\/a> but the judge would not allow the home invasion to be raised as evidence because no evidence tied McGregor to the attack.<\/p>\n

Lobov has no interest in taking his accusations in front of a judge. He finished this series of tweets with his own legal disclaimer: \u201cAllegedly of course,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Artem Lobov has gone from considering Conor McGregor his best friend to his worst enemy.
