Conor McGregor Faces Explosive Claims From Former Partner

We got a big story with a lot of tentacles to cover right now, opening up. Conor McGregor, okay, so he's basically being accused by his former training partner, Artem Lobov. Let me give you a little bit of context to the relationship. When Conor McGregor was coming up, Artem, who's of Russian descent, moved to Ireland, trained with him. He was his training partner right now. In combat sports, to have a training partner that you can spar confidently, you guys get close, it's very important. It has to be a guy that is as good as you, that puts you to the test, but he's not going to hurt you. So they became very close, and then when Conor McGregor got in the UFC, he actually made, he paved the way for Artem, who didn't have the best record in the MMA. He was, you know, 11 and 11, wasn't a big prospect, but he got Artem signed to the UFC, he supported him. Artem didn't do very well in the UFC. He was a homie. Yeah, and so he was basically out of the UFC in three fights. Now, they have a falling out, and it stems because Artem Lobov is claiming that he helped negotiate. A contract for Conor McGregor to start his whiskey called Proper 12, which Conor McGregor then ended up selling supposedly for $750 million. Artem Lobov said that he has been paid $0 for helping him get this amazing deal, that he was promised money. He didn't get any of it. And he's also then claimed, but now all, as they're saying, the beans are being spilled. He's saying that Conor McGregor's manager, Audi, gotta forget the guy's last name, but it's Audi. Let me look this up. Basically, the guy that he's head of Paradigm Sports, that he actually stole a bunch of money from Conor, and Conor doesn't know because Conor's been on drugs. He started also saying that Conor's basically a drug-addicted junkie, that Conor has not only not paid Artem for what he is doing, that Conor didn't pay his trainer, the head of SVG Sports. Yep. La Caja de Pandora. When Conor fought Mayweather, Conor made $100 million, and he only paid his trainer $100 grand, even though he was supposed to give him $5 million. So Artem is saying all these things, and he's saying it's because Conor... La Caja de Pandora. So we know that Conor also has allegations that he's fighting off of previous misconduct with women. Is Conor McGregor's empire collapsing around him? I think karma is a powerful thing, my friend. And it will catch up to you. And Conor McGregor has exhausted the goodwill of people around him. But he's part of the character that he built for himself and at some point made him so successful, right? This boisterous, braggadocious persona that allowed him to have the media success that he had. To have that aura of the special one, right? For many, many years. But once you get like me, old and you start buckling on the knees mid-fight that was a hard so that surgery was hard to watch because he was he was planning that but i don't understand you know as a fighter gets older, yeah they should be relying more on mechanics and not doing wild swings right so the fact that he opens up with this crazy kick that he has to land on it i mean i wouldn't be afraid i tried to pop an ollie the other day here yeah and your knee almost came out say hi to marissa because she I don't know if you guys saw the final show. She did. quite a job to my own casta ro there, I love it. I think I'm gonna have to bring back the skateboard so that you all, so that we see where you're... You know, people know here that I landed two like that before. 100%. And then the other one was just pure theatrics. Now, so going back to the Conor thing, when he had this big success, I think it all started falling apart once he took the Mayweather fight and he made all this money. You know, they say when it comes to fighting, a famous boxer once said, once you start sleeping in silk sheets, you don't want to get up at five o'clock in the morning to go run and get hit in the face. Yeah. So Conor started partying. Now, we have footage of him. Who can blame him? A hundred percent. If you already made the money, you already got out of the hood. Why would you go in and then start getting beat up if you already like set for life? So he started partying, he started getting involved, he became a promoter of bare knuckle fighting and he would do these promotional tours for bare knuckle fighting where he was obviously inebriated, he was obviously on cocaine, he's even admitted as much. So the fact that his former training partner is coming out and basically calling him out for being a crappy husband and father, a crappy teammate. He's crappy to his management, accusing his management of also stealing from everybody around him, saying that he didn't pay a lot of his trainers, even though the guy's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Let me ask you, do you have a Conor McGregor impression for us? I'm Irish. I'm Conor McGregor. You know what I used to actually say, Conor, like in my head, because I think I saw Highlander, and I used to say McGregor, and in my head, Conor McGregor. Look, you know, I was a big fan of him. It's sad to see his demise because he was so talented, and I think he still is one other thing. We'll cap off, and then we'll move on to other things. But, you know, Conor McGregor is talking about his retirement fights, that he has one fight left on the UFC. Oh, I heard it's a big one. And then after, well, we'll see. He has to come back from the knee. He wants to fight for one last big fight in the UFC. He's going to be done with his contract, and then he wants to have his real retirement fight as a boxer fighting Canelo. Canelo, that's the one that I heard about. What Artem Lobov is alleging, he's saying that the last true fight that Conor had already happened, that right now he's only fighting to keep up his habits. Did you know what we were talking about? He's drunk. He's drunk.
