thats enough rambling on for me.

The big point I think to remember here is that fighters train differently as a fight approaches. As you get closer to a fight your sparring will get more and more intense (as will your conditioning training) so a fighter will have to cut most (or all) max strength training to keep from overtraining. Then between fights they can pick it back up.
If you want some reading material, I think Ross Enamait's Infinite Intensity does a good job of combining strength and cardio for a fighter and explains how to arrange a program properly.
