Charles Lewis Jr., known as Mask amongst the MMA community and owner of TapouT, died in an accident on March 11, after his Ferrari crashed into a light pole, splitting it in half. A female passenger was ejected from the car and taken to a local hospital where she was treated for broken bones.

“Years ago there were many people in the MMA community that had given up, people who put everything they had into a dying sport, and were still left empty-handed.

Back then there were no Pay-Per-View’s, sold out venues, or mainstream glory or money for the fighters or those involved with the sport. Through the perseverance of a very few, somehow the sport managed to survive, and flourish.

A great video by Genghis Con highlighting the journey to GSP vs Penn 2.  I can’t wait for this fight!!!

Helio Gracie, the father of Gracie jiu-jitsu, is dead at the age of 95. Gracie passed in his sleep early Thursday in Itaipaiva, Rio de Janeiro, after he had been admitted to a local hospital a few days prior for stomach problems. 

Helio starting training in Judo when he was young.  Due to his smaller size, he realized many of the judo moves required brute strength that his diminutive stature did not allow. He began adapting the moves for his particular physical attributes, and through trial and error learned to maximize leverage, thus minimizing the force that needed to be exerted to execute the move. From these experiments, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was created. Using these new techniques, smaller and weaker opponents gained the capability to defend themselves and even defeat much larger opponents.

His impact on the sport of mixed martial arts was profound. His son, Rorion, was credited with developing the concept that became the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and another of his sons, Royce, won the first two UFC tournaments in 1993 and 1994. Two other sons, Rickson and Royler, also competed in MMA.

I can’t wait for this fight!!!
