Roberto Satoshi still worried about RIZIN’s future with possible second COVID-19 wave in Japan

Brazilian lightweight Roberto Satoshi did not feel the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic at first, but the prospect of a second wave of the virus still being a reality in Japan, where he has lived for many years now, keeps him on his toes.

“It’s getting worse for us now,” Satoshi said in an interview with MMA Fighting. “The second wave is coming worst than the first.
