UFC champion bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw paid tribute to the WBO world champion in the second bantamweight title Vasily Lomachenko.

Dillashaw compared the Ukrainian to the ghost and said that Lomachenko, with his movements and technique, forces his rivals to give up.

"I am amazed by Lomachenko - his reaction and how smooth he is. He makes people give up. This is not realistic. He does not win fights by knockout or decision of the judges. He forces opponents to give up.

It's very impressive. This is his work ethic. Opponents can not get on it.

And it's very depressing, when you look at so many people and you want to get on it, but you do not get. It's like a ghost fight. It is very difficult. You start to think about surrendering. I saw how he does it. The best option to learn is to look at what the best do and try to repeat it, "Dillashaw quotes The Los Angeles Times.

Recall that his next fight Lomachenko will hold May 12, 2018 in New York at the world famous arena "Madison Square Garden". The rival of the Ukrainian will be Jorge Linares.
