Conor McGregor has finally spoken about the Artem Lobov situation. The inseparable duo spent countless hours with each other grinding to get to the UFC top. They seemed more than training partners. But recently the news of their bond getting a hit with a million-dollar dispute came to light. The $200 million-worth UFC star received a claim from ‘The Russian Hammer’ on the Irishman’s Proper 12 venture.

The fallout was a major surprise for fans of both mixed martial artists. Lobov and McGregor had previously talked very highly of each other. But the situation changed quickly when the news broke out a few weeks back.

Conor McGregor breaks silence on the Artem Lobov controversy

While there were a lot of eyes on ‘The Notorious‘ to defend himself against his friend, he remained silent. Even his rival Jorge Masvidal spoke for him, but the Irishman, despite going on rants on other matters in MMA, stayed quiet. The potential reason appeared to be his close friendship with Lobov.

However, the brash Irish spoke in his own natural style as he summed up the Russian star by sending a four-word voice message in a now-deleted tweet on his Twitter handle.

“Artem is a rat,” McGregor hummed in a video on the loop with a mad laugh he is famous for.

The term ‘rat’ is not uncommon for the former two-weight champion of the UFC, who targeted many of his opponents, notably Khabib Nurmagomedov with it ahead of their clash at UFC 229. And interestingly, this rivalry, the biggest the sports has witnessed to this date, had a big contribution from Artem Lobov.

Anyhow, the recent developments saw ‘The Russian Hammer’ claim he had a major role in bringing up Proper 12. The Russian martial artist had talked about it before, ahead of his book launch. However, then he revealed refusing $1 million from ‘The Notorious’ for his role in the Whiskey business. Later, it got Lobov a lot of admiration from fans.

But this seems personal now; And with McGregor opening up on it, things might take some interesting turn in the upcoming days.
