Since you have over a year, you should try the two day split in the FAQ. If you do well enough with you you may find yourself stronger for your fight in 09. Do LSD more than sprints while you're trying to lose fat, and go to the D&S forums and
http://johnberardi.com/ and read everything. Once you get to the weight you are happy at, do more sprints than LSD.
As for the "Caveman" (Strongman) workouts, it will focus on more strength if it's difficult to do a rep, more conditioning if you have to do a bunch of reps in succession, and explosiveness if you focus on doing each rep as fast as possible. You have more potential for explosiveness based on maximal strength, and more conditioning based on the weight you use.
WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?!?!?!?!
