Meh, who knows. Conor did better than 99% of people for the work he put in. It's easy to shit on him now because he has made it easy through his actions as of late, adding to the fact that his shit talking which used to be amusing because he would go in and back it up no longer is because of the losses he has taken...
Excess changes people unless they're highly focused. There are so many examples of this with so few exceptions.
We also don't know what is going on in his personal life (not making excuses for his stupid decisions but it would certainly provide some insight)
He has talked at length in earlier interviews about how his coach (despite a lot of people wanting to shit on him) kept him on track and actually there were quite a few times were Conor thought about giving up and did at one point and his coach brought him through that rough patch and he finally went on to achieve success shortly thereafter, his wife was also very supportive of him in a time and culture where most women wouldn't have been so loyal and left him, she stayed and not only "stuck it out" but really supported him and kept him motivated.
Who knows how those dynamics have changed, and they certainly aren't going to get better as he loses focus for big money fights or other business opportunities which would piss off his coach as far as focusing strictly on the fighting aspect (we've seen hints of this like Conor saying he isn't going to do press and has to focus on training after losing to Nate) Conor sounds like he has cheated on his wife, and now he is going around getting into fights with random people.
It's important to realize what got you to where you are, including the people around you. There are too many people that keep dead beats around in their life and shit all over the ones who treat them well. Conor always played a character in his more high profile interviews but in some of them (lower key ones) you could tell at some point he was a genuine person who really cared and was proud of what he was doing and was pretty humble.
As time went on all the money and success changed him and the dynamic of his relationships, forgot what got him to where he is, but you can't just magically repair vital relationships because you realized you fucked up, and if you have millions of dollars and a lot of yes men around you, who knows if you'll even bother doing any self reflection anyways.
Just my two cents, but I feel like there are a lot of factors people don't really talk about when looking at behavior like this. I'm not a cult like follower of anyone, people aren't perfect. Maybe he'll turn things around and maybe he won't, honestly I think the best thing Conor can be for fans and haters alike right now anyways, is an example and case study of knowing what is important to you and setting intentions not just for getting what you want, but to know where you want to go and what you want to do and what got you to where you are after that success if you happen to find it.
