Road work (basic running) is popular in boxing for increasing stamina and seems like the obvious way one would condition themselves, but from getting input from pro fighters it seems many prefer to simply train longer instead. As in they train BJJ for 3 hours instead of two, since doing so would build stamina specific for BJJ versus just running. This makes sense to me, as I learned while boxing that running doesn't translate perfectly to the conditioning required for boxing.
So then, besides simple warm ups, is there even a point in running when it comes to combat training? Anyone know what UFC pros do for their conditioning?
