If you do something like MMA or wrestling, do you still need to do cardio?

[Apex]

If so, how would you try to fit it in to your schedule?

My schedule right now:

Monday - 5x5 lifting
Tuesday - Rest
Wednesday - 5x5 lifting
Thursday - HIIT cardio (30 seconds on, 60 seconds off)
Friday - 5x5 Lifting
Saturday - HIIT Cardio
Sunday - Rest Day

Would something like MMA class replace cardio?

 

[semtex]

Yes it would

Use that Tuesday as a day to do long distance running. It doesn't have to be fast, but long distance at least.

I play soccer and try to get my cardio in if possible at least a mile

You still need cardio. Just do low intensity every morning and plan a hiit for once a week
