You can increase your strength with much less frequency, especially with lower body work like deads and squats. I've made gains with spacing sessions over a month apart due to scheduling demands.

4. Exercise choice- Example: I wouldn't have an MMA fighter do leg extensions because isolation moves have no place in a dynamic and multiplanar sport like MMA. Train compound or multi-joint moves like power cleans, bench and pull ups etc...

I don't think this reasoning is correct or has ever been shown to have any correlation. You perform exercises in the gym to increase a muscle(s) ability to produce force. That's all that's really achieved. The skill and sport like maneuvering is practiced and learned in the discipline you're studying.
