Today the UFC inducted one of my favorite fighters, Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell. A vicious brawler that is currently reaching the decline of his career. He is a former Light-Heavyweight champ at 205 Lbs.
But the Primary thing that caught my Eye was that Charles "Mask" Lewis was being Inducted as well. One of the Founders of the clothing line TAPOUT. He recently died in a car crash, and was being honored by TAPOUT clothing, The UFC, and other establishments within the industry. The day after he died I was inspired to buy one of the memorial shirts from the clothing line. All the proceeds went to the Mask foundation. It is also one includes one of the most inspiring quotes that I have ever read.
"Life is full of influences, It's your application that sets you apart. That's something I wrote to myself and completely believe in. You can't be scared to set out to do something in life because you believe it may be similar to something, or because you don't know the clear cut path on how you're going to accomplish your goal or dream! Just take a step towards your belief daily - fearlessly, wholeheartedly, digging and dreaming within yourself, believing that as you push on through sacrifice, you will one day stand alone on top of a hill that you created that now encourages and inspires others to chase their dream. Knowing that through tenacity and patience anything can be achieved. If you simply believe." -Charles "Mask" Lewis
Without all of his constant efforts to the TAPOUT Line and to all of MMA there would be very little to see within the sport, and it would not be as revered as today.
