I have borrowed a link from a group I belong to's blog the link will be listed at the bottom of this post. For those that feel like MMA is all about fighting, pushing weights and being the biggest tank in the cage this a great read to maybe persuade you to the light. It is as solid of a base as any other work you do towards your game. Yoga builds your core and keeps your joints limber. This means less likely to be injured and less momentum on your part to push through you techniques which can equate to a longer tank of gas for you.
My good friend Levi Wampler is the owner of the below link. His site MMA Striking Coach Association is a great location for MMA training info and other useful insight. From Muay Thai, Boxing and several other standing forms to BJJ defenses.
