Check out Randy Coutures program. It's a circuit where the barbell never leaves your hands and it really drains you.

Programs designed for maximal strength and exlposive strength are great. Look into westside, 5x5s or 3x3s.

Whatever you do, I wouldn't focus much on isolation exercises. I'd stick with multi-joint movements, ones where you're working multiple muscles in one exercise. There's rarely a time in mma where your whole body isn't being used, so train that way.

but if you really need to know:
circuit training is excellent.
Power is very important, but so is strength
strength/power endurance are crucial.
Your cardio will need to be top notch. Train intervals, sprints, and distance running.
For lifting, start with compound power lifts (bench, squat, deadlift, power clean) then change the rep/set range to work your strength. Make sure to keep shock on your muscles and change the rep/set range as well as the order of the lifts and order of your workouts every 4 - 6 weeks.
Be creative and make your own workout. or copy someone elses. but its much more challenging to make your own. go all out, all the time. never settle for less than your best, leave it all in the gym (in the ring) --- similar to a fight, these principles apply to your training. Go hard and be honest with yourself. Make a workout, leave what you don't like or doesn't work, and add more of what you do like or find does work.

This isn't really helping you make a program, but here's an interesting vid of Sean Sherk doing a workout. That's the kind of thing you should be doing for the explosive cardio portion of your workout.

Be prepared to have a heart attack though.
