Conor McGregor has continued his scathing war of words against old friend Artem Lobov and has claimed that the Russian fighter is suing both him and his father Tony for defamation.
McGregor previously branded his ex-teammate a 'rat' in the fall out of the news that Lobov is suing the Dubliner for millions of euros.
Lobov believes he is owed five per cent of McGregor's share of the profits from the $600million (£430m) sale of his Proper No.12 whiskey brand. The Russian born fighter is claiming that it was he who came up with the idea for McGregor to get involved in the whiskey business and that he played a key role in the product's launch four years ago.
