Conor McGregor has called out his former friend and training partner Artem Lobov for not coming home to Russia.
Russia is of course at war with Ukraine, and the ongoing conflict has created chaos in both countries. The situation now has a new wrinkle as it is mentioned The insurgency being run by Yevgeny Prigozhin is challenging Vladimir Putin’s rule of power. If true, this new controversy could lead to civil war.
This news apparently found its way by UFC superstar Conor McGregor, who used the situation as another opportunity to take aim at his former friend-turned-enemy, Artem Lobov.
The Civil War in Russia and Artem Lubov are still in Ireland on benefits.

“Civil War in Russia and Artem Lobov Still in Ireland on Benefits.”
Although they were once closely related, “Notorious” and “The Russian Hammer” shot to fame after LeBov sued McGregor claiming that he came up with the idea for Proper No. Twelve whiskey.
Connor later targeted Artem on social media, which led to Lobov filing a motion under the 2009 defamation law that would prevent McGregor from making further posts of this nature.
Despite his efforts, Artem Lobov was eventually ordered to pay legal fees after his failed warnings against Conor McGregor.
McGregor (22-6 MMA) is expected to return to the Octagon later this year. The Irishman spent part of his spring working as a trainer on season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter and the initial plan was to have him fight rival trainer Michael Chandler this fall.
However, Conor McGregor has not yet signed up for the USADA test pool, which has many, including UFC President Dana White, wondering if the champion of the two previous divisions will return to the octagon.
What do you think of the comments made by McGregor regarding Leboeuf staying in Ireland?
