Best conditioning routine for Grappling/MMA...

Sup fellas I'm aware this isn't the first thread on this but I want some fresh input. What conditioning routines do you guys go through for great cardio while Grappling and for MMA. Also is there anyway around not losing weight while getting my cardio up? It's really sinking in how important conditioning/cardio is and I need some serious advice. Thanks in advance!

Eat the same amount of calories as you burn to maintain weight.

Read one of Ross Enamait's books or read his site if you want ideas for cardio/strength workouts.

Conditioning for MMA here are some of the things I do for conditioning

MMA Sparring
Grappling sessions
Striking sessions
10 minute drill flipping a 660 lbs tyre for as many reps as possible
10 minute drill flipping a 430 lbs tyre for as many reps as possible
Mountain runs
Mountain runs dragging a small tyre (28kgs) and wearing a 20kg weight vest
Hill Sprints
Tabata Intervals - Rower, Sprints/Hill Sprints, bike.
400m Sprints
400m Runs carrying my bodyweight on a Chain Yoke
500m sprints on a rowing machine
Litvinov Sprints
Bear Crawling for 5 minute rounds with a training partner on my back
Swimming.

Those are some of the things I do for conditioning for mma, I obviously don't do them all in the same month, I cycle different things in and out as is suits me and depending on how far out from a fight I am. But my base is always the mma sparring, for between 2 to 5 rounds of 5 to 7 minutes in duration.

Use your imagination and then apply a good training principle to it. For instance I combined the tabata intervals with hill sprints (you need a hill of at least 700m to do this) and it hammers me. Another form of training I am doing at the moment is running the first 500m of a mountain (up a dirt road) dragging a 28kg tyre and wearing a 20kg vest. I dump them at the 500m mark and run as fast as I can for the remaining 800m. That takes me about 16 minutes, I then have a minutes rest and do two 5 minute rounds on the thai pads with a training partner with a minute break between rounds. So that it simulates 5 x 5 minute (25 minute total) rounds of an mma fight.
