Here are the thoughts of veteran MMA journalist James Goyder,
“This is an exciting fight because it is so personal. There was a bit of history between Wiratchai and the Panjabutra camp dating back from the Naksu days and they weren’t impressed by what they perceived as showboating during his win over DK. I like Wiratchai as a fighter, he is comfortable fighting on the floor or on his feet and obviously enjoys being in the cage, but he’s up against a tough opponent from up country who would love nothing more than to put a beating on the poster boy from Bangkok.”
DARE 2/2012 is the fourth event put on by the DARE promotion and will be taking place at Club Insomnia Bangkok on March 17th. The first fight will get underway at 4pm local time and the entire event is being streamed live on the internet at www.darelive.tv and at www.gfl.tv for just $9.99.
