I lifted heavy explosive compound lifts untill about a week to a week and a half before the fight. and I can say my conditioning I think was better for this fight than the way I use to do it, with a lot of weight complexes and circuts. I think the long duration sparring and grapiling sessions added alot of conditioning to my game fast.

When people are at a relatively low level the best way to improve conditioning is to just roll and get more mat time. Once you hit a certain point you will need additioning conditioning outside of the gym. This is where cardiac output, anaerobic-lactic, anaerobic-alactic, strength, etc. come into play.
What you guys need to keep in mind and what Scott seems to forget is that the actual exercise isnt as important as how it is used. You can take a Sledgehammer and use it to build strength, aerobic or anaerobic conditioning with it. Same can be said with just about every exercise known to man. Modifying the resistance, durations, etc. determine what the exercise actually does to your body. Not the item or exercise used itself.
