Artem Lobov Accuses Conor McGregor Of Sending People To Threaten His Mother With A Hammer

Artem Lobov alleged on social media that Conor McGregor sent people to burn his car and threaten his 60-year-old mother with a hammer amidst their ongoing feud.

The explosive claims mark a severe escalation in what has become one of the most toxic personal disputes in mixed martial arts history.

For years, Lobov and McGregor stood together as one of the closest partnerships in combat sports.

That former brotherhood has completely dissolved into bitter legal battles, public insults, and alarming allegations of intimidation.

The Russian-born Irish fighter unleashed his latest wave of accusations on social media following discussions about McGregor's combat sports future.

Lobov addressed past incidents where McGregor had challenged him to settle their differences in an unsanctioned gym fight.

According to Lobov, he never avoided any confrontation at their longtime training facility, Straight Blast Gym.

Instead, Lobov stated that McGregor failed to appear during regular training hours and opted for extreme measures outside the gym.

"He went on X, sent people to burn my car and threaten my 60-year-old mother with a hammer, but never had the balls to call my number directly," Lobov wrote.

The allegations made by Lobov have not been independently verified.

Lobov emphasized his own consistency as a combat athlete who regularly attended Straight Blast Gym throughout their dispute.

He claimed he was present on the training mats every Tuesday and Thursday without ever seeing McGregor show up to face him.

According to Lobov, McGregor instead issued erratic public callouts in the middle of the night.

"I am the godfather of always showing up, taught Conor how to be a real fighter," Lobov posted.

He dismissed McGregor's early morning social media demands as erratic posturing from an unreliable individual.

"But he calls me out at 4 a.m. haha thats 'junkie o'clock,' I was asleep with my kids," Lobov explained.

Lobov carefully added the disclaimer "allegedly, of course" when describing McGregor's behavior during those late-night online outbursts.

SHOCKING FINANCIAL ACCUSATIONS

The public confrontation began when Lobov responded to an online post concerning McGregor's remaining contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Lobov dismissed the importance of McGregor fighting out the final bout on his current UFC deal.

When supporters of the former two-division champion pushed back, Lobov responded with detailed accusations regarding McGregor's financial dealings.

Lobov insisted that McGregor abandoned and shortchanged the close circle that helped him climb to international superstardom.

"He took care of nobody, he f**ked over his coach and all his best friends Lee, Derek, Gerry Vegas, Charlie, myself and others," Lobov stated.

Lobov claimed that multiple close associates brought lucrative business deals to McGregor based on verbal handshakes.

According to Lobov, McGregor collected the incoming money but failed to distribute the promised shares.

Lobov also targeted McGregor's representation, specifically naming his manager Audie Attar.

He claimed that both he and McGregor lost out during the management of the fighter's commercial whiskey enterprise.

"And he got 'Proper Fcked' on his whiskey deal that I negotiated and his manager Audie stole from him and me," Lobov claimed.

Lobov emphasized that his frustration stems from years of deep, unreciprocated commitment.

"I showed him unmatched loyalty, I don't say that lightly as a 40-year-old man," Lobov remarked.

BROKEN PROMISES TO INNER CIRCLE

To substantiate his claims, Lobov outlined several specific financial figures involving long-serving Straight Blast Gym members.

Lobov pointed directly to McGregor's monumental 2017 professional boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

McGregor reportedly collected approximately $100 million for the crossover mega-fight in Las Vegas.

Lobov contrasted that massive windfall with the payout received by longtime head coach John Kavanagh.

"He got $100M for Mayweather what did John get??? $100K if even, meant to be 5 percent but he never paid that for any of his fights," Lobov wrote.

Lobov then highlighted the alleged mistreatment of Derek, an integral member of McGregor's longtime entourage.

He claimed McGregor abruptly fired Derek, a father of three children, only weeks before Christmas.

According to Lobov, the sudden termination occurred simply because Derek voiced an opinion that McGregor disliked.

Lobov also revealed the low compensation allegedly given to Lee, the founder and director of McGregor's media brand, The Mac Life.

According to Lobov, Lee was paid only 500 euros per week before taxes despite running the outlet for years.

Lobov brought up another financial dispute involving team member Gerry Vegas during a fight preparation camp.

McGregor reportedly agreed to pay Gerry 10,000 euros at the beginning of camp and another 10,000 euros upon completion.

Lobov claimed that McGregor refused to deliver the final 10,000 euro payment once the camp wrapped up.

"Thats just a few examples," Lobov wrote while detailing the financial friction within the former inner circle.

THE WHISKEY FALLOUT

The roots of the animosity between Lobov and McGregor trace back to the creation of the Proper No.

Twelve Irish whiskey brand.

Lobov has repeatedly maintained that he conceptualized the whiskey brand and presented an entire ready-made business strategy to McGregor.

The whiskey enterprise turned into a massive commercial empire, eventually selling for a valuation in the hundreds of millions.

Lobov later initiated legal proceedings against McGregor in Irish civil court.

The lawsuit claimed McGregor had promised Lobov a 5 percent equity cut in exchange for developing the lucrative business.

McGregor strongly contested the claim, leading to a bitter multi-year legal confrontation between the former friends.

Public reports indicate that Lobov and McGregor eventually settled the whiskey dispute earlier this year for an amount in the millions.

Yet the legal resolution clearly failed to repair the broken relationship or silence the personal animosity between them.

FROM INSEPARABLE BROTHERS TO ENEMIES

The hostility stands in stark contrast to the fierce loyalty that previously defined their relationship.

During the ascent of McGregor through the featherweight and lightweight divisions, Lobov was a permanent fixture in his training camps.

When McGregor coached Season 22 of The Ultimate Fighter, he used his position to bring Lobov onto the reality show cast.

Lobov also placed himself in physical jeopardy to defend McGregor during intense promotional and personal rivalries.

Their loyalty was demonstrated in the infamous confrontation between Lobov and Khabib Nurmagomedov in a hotel prior to UFC 223.

"We were brothers and had each others backs no matter what," Lobov reflected on their past bond.

Lobov explicitly stated that his physical confrontation with Nurmagomedov occurred strictly to protect McGregor's reputation.

"Trouble with Khabib was over me defending his honor and not allowing Khabib talk bad about my brother," Lobov recalled.
