"How refreshing to see" - Fans more than happy to witness respectful UFC 290 presser without 'sh*t talking' for a change 

UFC recently concluded the pre-fight press conference for its upcoming UFC 290 pay-per-view, which is set to take place this weekend at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Interestingly, fans seem to be more than happy after the press conference did not have the usual trash-talking. While trash-talking makes the build-up to the fights much more interesting, it was nice to see fighters respecting each other in the build-up for a change.

Reacting to the same, fans expressed their thoughts on the rather light-hearted pre-fight press conference. Take a look at some of the reactions below:

"It was refreshing to see eyerone respectful. If there's 1 thing I know it's the 2 title fights are gonna be wild whole card is stacked and then we get 291 with a great card too UFC always delivers in the summer."
