So I think that the priority for a fighter should naturally be sport training, injury prevention and diet.
After that comes assistance training which should be oriented on improving weaknesses. Also a good athlete valuates constantly his progress and weaknesses and changes his goals accordingly to suit the new needs.
So I think that yoga and swimming are good for injury prevention, recovery and general conditioning. As a fight nears you should switch to more demanding and more sport specific conditioning.
This as a simplistic generalisation.

yea what this guy said. you could do that so you don't get injured but when you get within your 10 weeks from a fight you should start hitting strength and conditioning hard
