Very, very sad news last night. "Mask" was killed in a car accident.
Charles "Mask" Lewis Killed in Newport
Like a lot of people, I kind of thought the TapouT crew and their crazy getups were hokey as hell at first. Their schtick had a purpose, though; they were tired of getting ignored at fights while trying to promote their company and decided to make characters to attract attention. It paid off, and he and his friends built their little project into a muiltimillion dollar company. He was by all accounts a nice guy and a friend to the sport, and he will be missed.
According to reports by Newport Beach injury lawyers, a Newport Police officer witnessed the accident that took the life of Charles “Mask” Lewis.
The officer that saw the crash stated he witnessed a red Ferrari and a white Porsche both spinning out of control on Jamboree Road in the vicinity of Bison Avenue and East Bluff Drive at approximately 1: 00 a.m. Spokesman for the Newport Police Department Lt. Craig Fox stated the Farrari struck the curb and then struck a pole. The Farrari had been damaged in a way that it was split in half according to Lt. Fox.
Charles “Mask” Lewis was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, he was the co-founder of the mixed-martial-arts apparel company TapouT, which also sponsors fighters.
