TMZ has learned Charles Lewis Jr. -- aka "Mask" -- was driving his Ferrari Modena in Orange County, Calif. around 1:00 AM this morning when cops say it "left the roadway, hit the curb, took out a light pole."
"Mask" was declared dead at the scene. A female passenger -- who was ejected from the crash -- was taken to a local hospital, but we're told she's in bad shape.

I have never heard of this man or his business and it looks like it is just as well.
I never knew other Darwin Award contestants either.
?????
what a waste of a car....
If you follow mixed martial arts, you’d have been familiar with the brand. They sponsor a lot of the fighters.
1. Claimjumper - Ooh! Let's name our company after a thieving scumbag.
2. Tapout - Ooh! Let's name our company after the one thing in a wrestling match you don't want to do.
3. Street Legal - Ooh! Let's name our band with the term used to describe a Toyota Corolla.
Was the picture taken before or after the accident??
Another wannabe ‘driver’ kills self with car he can’t handle. Hope the lady makes it. Lucky no one else was killed.
And a lot of douchebag “ultimater fighter” wannabees, apparently.
I can’t go through the Dallas airport without seeing a platoon’s worth of dumbasses in the full “Tapout” regalia.

Just like James Woods and Jeff Bridges
He was driving a great car, however.
Agreed...........
RIP.
Apparently, he was racing another couple in a Porche. The Porche driver has been charged with vehicular homocide and DUI. His girlfriend was so drunk she was arrested for public drunkeness. The local newspaper article did not say if Mask had been drinking.
That is a 6 lane wide street with median divider and a 50MPH speed limit. However, it is hilly and there are a few curves where is would be easy to lose control if speeding.
to bad. Those guys were real entrepreneurs that loved the fight game and got to live the dream.... Ferrari and a chick at 0100... too bad.
So I guess you would consider my son a douchebag because he owns some TapOut t-shirts and wears a TapOut ball cap. He happens to love watching MMA fighting, however he is not a wannabe, he plans on going to college this fall and then joining the Marines. I can introduce you to many young men between the age of 19-25 when not in uniform are wearing their TapOut or Affliction clothing. It’s a new thing that lots of young guys are into, that doesn’t make them douchebags.
I don’t buy the gear either - but I certainly follow the
MMA fights, so I know who the fella is.
Can’t blame him for making an honest buck, if you ask me.
RIP.
Sad to see someone go that hasn’t even hit their middle
ages yet.
