World Sports · 00:50:50 - Wednesday, 4 November 2026

Former UFC fighter Artem Lobov has publicly accused Conor McGregor of orchestrating an attack that included burning his car and threatening his 60-year-old mother with a hammer. The allegations mark a dramatic escalation in the relationship between the two fighters, who were teammates on The Ultimate Fighter reality series in 2015.

Lobov did not provide specific dates or evidence for the claims in his initial statement. McGregor has not yet responded publicly to the accusations. Both fighters have competed in the UFC's featherweight and lightweight divisions, with McGregor becoming a two-division champion while Lobov departed the promotion in 2018.
