MMA superstar Conor McGregor is set to be sued for a second time by former friend and UFC fighter Artem Lobov, according to Indepentent.ie.
A few weeks back, McGregor went out on social media and called Lobov “a rat” for suing him for millions of euro in connection with the development of Proper No. Twelve Whiskaey.
Now, Lobov fires back with a second lawsuit where he’s calling McGregor’s behavior “concerted social media barrage” with the intent of “harassing, intimidating and defaming him”.
In the first lawsuit, Lobov was calling for up to $30 million.
Conor McGregor has lately been rumored to return to the UFC next year to face top ranked Michael Chandler.
However, UFC president Dana White recently denied that the fight is in the making.
“I never said that, ever fucking once,” White said in rant at UFC 282’s post-fight press conference. “This is what happens when you do interviews and people listen to your interviews.”
“I don’t even know when Conor McGregor’s coming back,” White said.
