Conor McGregor calls Artem Lobov a 'c***' as he continues war of words

Conor McGregor has continued his scathing war of words against old friend Artem Lobov and has claimed that the Russian fighter is suing both him and his father Tony for defamation.

McGregor previously branded his ex-teammate a 'rat' in the fall out of the news that Lobov is suing the Dubliner for millions of euros.

Lobov believes he is owed five per cent of McGregor's share of the profits from the $600million (£430m) sale of his Proper No.12 whiskey brand. The Russian born fighter is claiming that it was he who came up with the idea for McGregor to get involved in the whiskey business and that he played a key role in the product's launch four years ago.

And McGregor has continued his war of words, claiming that the Russian is suing him for defamation.

And posting on Twitter on Tuesday night, McGregor said: "Artem is trying to sue me and my father for defamation now as well ahahaja [sic] oh lord, god bless. Artem you look like an uncooked sausage of a thing. Jump on the pan for minute pal you look rough mate. God bless ya pal."

And the UFC star also branded Lobov a 'c***' in an X-Rated voice note posted to Twitter.

McGregor sang on the voice note, saying 'Artem is a waffler'.

And at the end of the message, McGregor said: "Bro we had a chat about about f****** our love for reptiles and our love for rats. Do you not remember that f****** chat mate, no? You silly c***"
