About TapouT
This counterculture crew boasts a sought-after clothing line, a raucous in-demand TV reality show, and sponsors the best MMA Fighters all the while creating hype and mystique The trio equaling the TapouT Crew - Mask, Punkass and Skyskrape - are no strangers to the fanfare surrounding the infamous sport of MMA and are never too shy to strike their notorious poses with fight-frenzied fans. As the premiere lifestyle brand of the MMA world, TapouT undoubtedly corners the competition- in and out of the octagon.
As the energy is escalating around the MMA culture, TapouT is taking on a life of its own with an attitude so American and Arrogant that the demand for the brand has gone global. “The TapouT phenomenon can’t be explained easily. TapouT is here to help bring the sport to its rightful place of world domination, and our products are just an extension of that,” says TapouT’s ringleader Mask. The ubiquitous logo-blazen tee shirt that made TapouT a madhouse-hold name can now be purchased in over 20,000 retail stores worldwide (not including online), along with a full line of fighter gear, men’s, women’s, youth and accessories.
Bobby Razak is an integral part of TapouT marketing and has directed several TapouT commercials and movies including Pit Fight, Bloodlines, Mask Man and Simply Believe, which was the official tribute to the passing of Charles ‘Mask’ Lewis of TapouT. Razak’s work on “Simply Believe” garnered so much attention that The Sixth Sense Director, M. Night Shyamalan personally wrote to compliment him on his work. Bobby’s newest TapouT short titled “Drysdale” is being filmed at ADCC in Barcelona this September.
