J.C. "CONCRETE" Cuffee is a professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and sports athlete.
He is thoroughly trained in the disciplines of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Muay Tai, boxing, wrestling, and Sambo. J.C. travels all over the country for training but the majority of his time is spent in the D.C. metropolitan area when he is home.
Over the past several years he has been perfecting his craft in the sport of MMA. J.C. kicked off his professional career June 19, 2010 with a stellar 7 second guillotine submission win, among the fastest times for wins by submission in the world!
J.C. has had a love of sports extending back into child-hood and set out at the age of 7 to become a professional athlete. While the path to get there may not have always been clear, the focus never changed. "MMA kind of found me."
J.C. graduated from George Mason University in May 2005 with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. J.C. received a wrestling scholarship to George Mason University after becoming the Virginia AAA State Wrestling Champion at 152lbs (see below for more information on high school years). J.C. wrestled for approximately two and a half years before being sidelined by an injury and other personal issues. This was the first time J.C. was unable to participate in sports which proved to be a revelation, helping shape his decision to regain focus and achieve his goals. While at Mason, J.C. also pledged and joined Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
