Dumbbell swings and overhead presses are really effective in MMA training. It helps with your flexibility and strength. Of course the normal dumbbell workouts, dumbbell curl, dumbbell bench press, and dumbbell rows. Also lunges with dumbbells, oh and bur-pees with overhead dumbbell press is a really awesome full body workout. Stationary squats are effective, as are jumping jacks, or regular lunges, push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups are all great body weight exercises. Leg lifts, scissors, in and out leg swings are also great for the core. Push-ups can be done in 3 different variations, to get the maximum benefit. There are of course normal push-ups, then plyopush-ups, and shuffle push-ups. All will give you a great chest and arm workout. Hope this helps.
