In September, when Miyuu Yamamoto told her brother, the legendary Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto, that she had a fight lined up at Rizin 13 at the end of the month, she was hoping that would bolster his spirits. Instead, it was right around then that he began to slip away. He had made it public only a couple of weeks earlier that he had been battling stomach cancer, and everything was happening so fast. Too fast for anybody close to him to wrap their minds around. There was still optimism that he would beat it in early September.
