What I did
I worked out w/ weights using volume training, but not too high...
Here is the way to get ready for a fight:
(if you have a team then this is easy -- otherwise get some buddies)
It is called "Ironman" and basically get 4 of your buds together, and you get in the middle. Grapple for 5 mins or a submission, then the next guy jumps in. And so on and so on. Repeat for yourself (the whole cycle)5 times. You will not be able to move, and might puke. Eventually it will become easier and easier.
Next, move to the heavy bag and have a coach shout out non-stop punch combinations EX. "1,2, 3, 5." Use the #'s as individual punches. Uppercuts, jabs, crosses, hooks. Go non-stop for 3 minutes, and HARD, do this for 3 rounds, working up to 6 rounds.
When you can do these exersizes with relative ease, then you are ready my friend.
