Mask, who was named because of the face paint he wore would sell the shirts out of his car in the back of the building of UFC events in the early days. Eventually UFC picked the brand up and the rest is history. Charles is the first Non Fighter to be inducted into the hall of fame. He tragically passed away in a high speed car crash in 2009.
