Former UFC featherweight Artem Lobov has accused his former teammate and superstar Conor McGregor of orchestrating an attack on his property and family. According to Lobov, individuals sent by McGregor burned his car and threatened his 60-year-old mother with a hammer. The allegations mark a dramatic escalation in the long-standing feud between the two Irish fighters, who were once close friends and training partners at SBG Ireland.
Lobov, who competed in the UFC from 2015 to 2019, made the claims in a recent interview. He did not provide specific dates or evidence, but stated that the incidents occurred after his departure from McGregor's inner circle. McGregor has not publicly responded to the accusations as of the time of reporting.
The rivalry between Lobov and McGregor dates back to their time on The Ultimate Fighter reality series in 2015, where they were on opposing teams. Despite their falling out, both fighters have remained prominent figures in mixed martial arts, with McGregor becoming one of the sport's biggest global stars.
