Scripture of the Day: Isaiah 42:1-5 – “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. 3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; 4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life. 5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you.”
RIP Brody Stevens

YFB observed a “Fatal Four-Way” for Cain Velasquez: cage rust, a knee that gave way, a tap on the chin and questions about a fighter’s brain trauma.
- Facts about brain development: 3 major structural units of the brain are the cerebrum, cerebellum (balance and coordination), and the brain stems are the control center, decoding basic instincts and feelings.
