The FuseBox Radio Broadcast and BlackRadioIsBack.com family had the pleasure of covering some great professional mixed martial arts (MMA) matches at Bellator 118 on Friday, May 2, 2014 at Revel Casino & Hotel in Atlantic City, NJ.

Here are some pictures taken during all of the powerful sports action (from punches to grappling to throwdowns and more - there were long fights to literal knockouts in SECONDS that evening in preliminary and main cards) throughout the various bouts by Mary Nichols (DJ Fusion) of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast. 

Hope that you enjoy all of the great athletic talents on display in these photos! :)
