Emiliano Sordi put in a lot of work during the 2019 Professional Fighters League (PFL) season, defeating five fighters en route to becoming the light heavyweight champion and a millionaire. He put in even more work afterwards, using his $1 million prize money to help feed Argentinean people during the coronavirus pandemic.
Months after the season was over, Sordi returned home to Rio Cuarto, Argentina and immediately witnessed how negatively his community had been impacted because of the pandemic. In the province of Cordoba, where Rio Cuarto is located, there has been 110,000 cases of coronavirus infections.
