MMA fans are more forgiving than boxing fans. They dont care if their fighters get KOed, they just need to have a couple more wins and they are right back to the top again. In boxing it's not that easy to get the fans back, imo.
MMA fans dont even care if their fighters get caught for PEDs. Silva gets caught cheating and he's back on cards and people still call him the goat. Same thing will happen when Jones comes back, it will all be forgotten. Could you imagine if Bolt gets done for roids in the Olympics? His career would FINISHED, tarred with the cheat tag for the rest of his life. Or he would end up like Gaitlin who every hates and wants to see lose becasue he is a cheat. In MMA the fans just brush it under the carpet like it never happened and go back to calling them "goats" lol.
