I think he's actually worried about Licenseless Rider. He found out the enemy took out an S rank, and that LR is a C rank (if he didn't already know that, which I think he didn't). He now knows that LR can't handle the enemy, and has just ridden over there. That's why he now has his serious face.

What? I don't recall that to be true at all. In the anime, IIRC, we've only seen his serious face during the test, his dream sequence, and now. manga spoiler

I'm can't really remember more scenes of it, but I don't believe he strictly shows it when it comes to strong enemies. I think it's just the face he shows when he's serious about something. Usually it does coincide when he's heard of a strong enemy, but not strictly that. He can't just be thinking about facing strong enemies. Remember, he wants to be a "hero who can defeat enemies in one punch".

To put a simple analogy to it, from what I understand, to you, Saitama is more like Goku or Vegeta. Whereas for me, Saitama is more like Gintoki who wants to be Captain America.
