Conor McGregor mocks Artem Lobov by repeating 'rat' taunt with kids toy

Conor McGregor has continued to hit out at former teammate Artem Lobov by calling him a "rat" with the help of a kids toy.

Former two-weight UFC champion McGregor fell out with Lobov after the Russian filed a lawsuit claiming that he is owed five per cent of the $180million (£151m) sale for McGregor's Proper Twelve whiskey company. McGregor, along with two other shareholders in the brand, sold their stakes last year for a massive $600m (£503m). The sale put McGregor on top of the Forbes highest-paid athlete list last, ranking above the likes of Tyson Fury and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The lawsuit is ongoing and Lobov recently took further action by taking McGregor to the high court in what he called “a concerted social media barrage” against him. McGregor tweeted and deleted an audio message in which he chanted that Lobov "is a rat", also challenging him to a physical fight at SBG Ireland's HQ in Dublin.
