Conor McGregor's long-time rival Ali Abdelaziz has declared that the Irishman is receiving "karma" after it emerged that he was being sued by an ex-teammate for millions.
The UFC legend is being pursued by Artem Lobov, his SBG Ireland teammate and a former MMA fighter who helped to train and spar with him for all of his biggest fights, over his involvement in Proper 12 whiskey. Lobov claims to be entitled to five per cent of the Irishman's proceeds after he was one of three shareholders who sold their stake for a combined $600million (£430m) last year.
McGregor launched his whiskey company in 2018 right around the time of his fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov, and turned it into a massive player in the market with constant advertising. Last year, he landed himself the No.1 spot on the Forbes Magazine rich list with his massive money sale of the company.
