I've been training, studying Strength & Conditioning (S&C) training, and helping others with their training for 16+ years now. And for the past 9-10 of those years, I've been devising ways of helping MMAists with their S&C training. We all know that MMA (as well as most combat sports in general) are totally unique in regards to its S&C requirements - it's totally unlike all other sports.
Virtually every other sport has a main focus, or maybe even a couple - but regardless, it's still evident what sort of "needs" that a participant of that sport has. For example, American football is a sport made up of short bursts. Now, it will vary some with which position you play, but ultimately, a player needs high levels of strength, speed, and the resulting power. Baseball is much the same way. Soccer, on the other hand, is mostly aerobic with brief stints of intense activity, and is primarily all lower body. Track and field events are pretty much all either speed/power-based, or endurance-based, depending on the event.
MMA, though, is unlike any of that. You need high levels of strength, speed, and power. You need high levels of work capacity. You need not only aerobic endurance, but also muscular-endurance, as well as strength and power-endurance. If ever there was a sport that required the complete realm of physicality from a S&C perspective, MMA is it.
I don't need to tell you that MMA is one of, if not the, fastest growing sports in the world right now. Fighters are making the cover of major sports magazines, covered on major sports networks, fights are broadcast on PPV, cable, and now even network TV. MMA is everywhere, and many fighters are making a very good living from fighting.
That wasn't always the case, though. In fact, until just a few years ago, there weren't but a few MMAists in the world that made enough to be able to train full-time. Most fighters had to hold down full-time jobs, and train in their spare time. Back in the early to mid 1990's, when the UFC was first created, subsequently followed by the now defunct Pride FC in Japan a few years later, virtually all fighters only fought on a part-time basis. They simply didn't make enough money to be able to afford to train full-time. So, they would go to their normal 40+ hour/week job, and train at night and on weekends.
And we all know what great demands are put upon a fighter with his training. Today you can go to MMA gyms to train. Then, there was no such thing. It was go to one gym for boxing instruction. Go to another for BJJ. Another for wrestling. Possibly another for sparring. Add schooling, a second job, a family, and/or other basic life responsibilities to the mix, and that doesn't leave a whole lot of time for S&C training.
That was what intrigued me so much about S&C for MMA and experimenting with different forms of training. How could a guy who had so much other demand on his life do a simple, short, yet effective workout so that he could improve his performance across all these different, but necessary, physical characteristics, while at the same time, allowing him to recover fully so that he can still work, train, and tend to his personal life?
Somewhere along the line, a light bulb went off. We've already established the fact that MMAists need all these different physical characteristics - speed, power, strength, conditioning, work capacity, etc. And they need to be able to accomplish all that via workout programs that are simple, yet effective, and don't take forever (either to perform or recover from). All this has another absolutely PERFECT use...the "regular joe."
The "regular joe" might not be a competitive athlete, or punch people in the head for a living. But tell me the needs aren't virtually the same as MMAists. As a "regular joe" myself, I know that I desire all the same physical characteristics - the strength, the power, the work capacity, the different kinds of conditioning. And as long as I get my diet right, it's going to result in a pretty good physique, too.
And considering that MMA workouts are designed to have maximum "bang for your buck", then it's good for busy guys. "Regular joes" might not be training in martial arts for 5-6 hours/day, but working a full-time job, having a relationship, possibly having kids, other basic responsibilities, not to mention trying to have a basic personal life means there isn't a whole lot of time to spend in the gym.
Why wouldn't "regular joes" want to do MMA workouts?

"As
a trainer and coach myself, I know not only what works but what peoplewill actually do. There is an art and science to physical change and peak
performance. Matt Wiggins program does it all. It is fast, effective and you will feel like a complete bad ass when you're done. This is the type of training that that isn't all show and no go...it will create both the show and the go! Scientific, Fun, and Manly. Love it!"

"Not
just for the guys! The thing I like about Matt’s workout is that
it’s simple. That doesn’t mean it’s not hard! It’s
intense! It makes you feel like you’ve worked. And if you work
at it, you’ll get results. I like the format and the progressions
each week. Having done the workout myself and tested it on both my male
and female clients, I can say it’s not a workout that’s
just for guys. I really encourage women to give it a go, as much as
I encourage guys. The fact that you need minimal equipment and only
a small area in which to work really eliminates any excuse not to give
it a go!"

'cardio' that moves you... beyond the boring, sitting there

"I have
been a loyal customer of Wiggy's for 2 years now, and I’m so confident
in anything that Wiggy puts out, that I will guarantee you it will work. I’m
in my early 30’s and can honestly say I’m in the best shape of my
life and getting better. The new "Working Class Cardio Workout"
is AWESOME. If you want to get into real shape then look no further. Like any
workout you will only get what you put into it. No, it’s not easy but
you wouldn’t be reading this if you wanted to look like everyone else
at the gym. Like Wiggy always says “Train Hard, Rest Hard, Play Hard”.
So pick it up, do what he says and you to will look better, feel better, and
believe in him like I do. God bless and good luck." "I'm Aaron's
Bonafede little brother, and we have been devout followers of your amazing strength
and conditioning programs for at least two years. They truly have transformed
my body into a work horse of a machine. I am a Firefighter who also does some
Jiu Jitsu on the side. I have been asked/told by more than one person, 'How
are you so strong?' or 'Do you ever get tired?' With the 'cardio workout' theme
I decided to keep the rest (wait there is no time to rest between all of those
wood choppers) to a minimum. By the time I was finished with the first workout,
I had soaked through a shirt and had to answer more questions then normal as
to what exactly I was doing. I knew it was another winner. I am confident this
program will take anybody's cardio and strength to the next level and beyond.
Thanks again for new ass kicking programs."

"First
thing that I've got to say is that I lost 5 pounds in the first 1.5 weeks of
your program...that's definately the workout I would follow before my official
fight...the combination of posterior and anterior chain exercises various other
sportsmen would find useful because of the amount of cleans and pushes combined
with anaerobic circuits."
Nikolay Ryzhkov

"...after
2 weeks of the cardio program, the biggest thing that I’ve noticed is
that my resting heartbeat is down about 3 beats per minutes. I’m down
a couple of pounds as well. My energy level appears to be higher (I’ve
got twin 4 year olds, so keeping my energy level high is very important)...At
43 years old I’m not concerned with being the biggest or the strongest,
just being in the best overall athlete I can be."
