Work out routine for 3 days a week?
Hey guys, first post here.
Im training for my first mma amateur fight in august 26th. Im currently training with the team on saturday and sunday (Team Mercy out of Findlay Ohio) and then i work grappling and standup on tuesday and thursday. That leaves me free for cardio and weight training on monday wednesday and friday and im curious what kind of split for those 3 days would you guys think would be best?! Let me know, thanx in advance!

Here's my suggested routine, but it really depends on what your conditioning is like already already.
Monday: Cardio
5 mile run, outside is best
20 minutes of jumping rope taking a 30 second break every five minutes
20 minutes of kickboxing against a bag (just to work some actual combat training into conditioning workouts)
15 windmill sprints (run in 3 sets of 5, taking a 60 second break to see how fast your pulse can come down)
Stand-up, full pace sparring (I do straight boxing sparring, but with five minute rounds to simulate an MMA fight)
Situps
Cooldown jog, 1 mile
Wednesday: Strength Training
Stretch
3 sets of 12 Overheadpress
3 sets of 12 Benchpress
3 sets of 12 Straight leg press
3 sets of 12 calfpress
Push-ups, with or without a weight-vest, depending on your conditioning
3 sets of 12 curls
Squats
note: the order for these is adjustable, I tend to do upperbody first and then lowerbody
Friday: Cardio
Same as monday

ironman´s workout sounds great but try to download some books by Ross Enamait, his sandbag training is great and also his no-gym exercises for endurance like 500 sit-ups and many others, check them out, you can find them on the mma hubs. Good luck by the way.
