OK I'll try to explain it one more time. You muscle mitochondria produce aerobic energy. They adapt to be able to do this according to the SPECIFIC demands.

Aerobic capacity is the same thing, really as endurance. I feel like you are treating them as two separate things. If you think of aerobic capacity in a general way you will only get general effects. If you have SPECIFIC goals you must train in specific ways.

I'm not saying that treadmill running will not help I am only saying that treadmill running helps more for treadmill running.

Why do you think so many of those mma guys, besides their specific skills training, do all sorts of circut training with large varieties including things that impact the endurance of the core musculature, etc?

The muscles do the work.

The days when boxers endurance training is just running are long over. Definitely for MMA running is only a small side piece of it.

I'm just going by your stated goals. There is no reason to think that you need to run on a treadmill to give you a foundation. Any sort of training can be started gradually. What foundation does the treadmill provide specifically? Does it impact the body in similar ways as a martials arts contest would? Is the range of motion similar? Are the demands on muscular strength similar?

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
