It’s been a year since the tragic death of Tapout founder and MMA super-supporter, Charles “Mask” Lewis. Arguably one of the biggest motivators and backers of the sport we love, Mask held true to one simple phrase – “BELIEVE”.
Coming up from nothing and struggling to get by, Mask and the Tapout crew held strong in their belief and focused on the big picture. Good things come to those who work hard and truly see the vision come to life, and that is exactly what Mask did. He helped develop a brand, a family, and most importantly an MMA empire that positively puts the sport of MMA in the spotlight.
Below are two important videos that embody the philosphy of Mask & Tapout. Watch them, share them, and BELIEVE!

His favorite Jiu-Jitsu fighter is Jeff Glover.
