This is actually a pretty involved question. What you want when it comes to MMA is strength-endurance, or in other words, using your maximal output over an extended peroid of time.

There are a few threads in the training section that deal with strength-endurance programs but the main draw back is this: When you actively train for SE, your maximal strength output will not increase.

With that said, what I am doing is using the bill starr 5x5 program to bring my strength up first, then utilizing an SE program to see gain in that area.

Now if your just begining to "play" with MMA, there really is no reason to worry about this kind shit. Just go an have fun, work on technique, and get into it. when you feel as though you need to suppliment that (for competition or otherwise) then look into SE training.
