So this is an MVP inspired program with a bit of change up here and there.

Monday - Volume & Intensity

Bench Press 3 x 5
Standing Overhead Press 3 x 5
Front Squat 3 x 5
BB Row 3 x 5
*Weighted Chin Ups  5 x 5
*Weighted Dips 5 x 5

* Notes a super set

Wednesday Recovery & Speed

DB Bench 3 x 12
DB Military Press 3 x 12
Front Squat 3 x 8
DB Row 3 x 12
*Pull Ups 3 x Failure
*Dips 3 x Failure

Friday Strength & Intensity

Bench Press 3 x 3
Back Squat 3 x 3
OH Press 3 x 3
Dead lift 3 x 3
BB Row 3 x 3
Weighted Chin 3 x 3
Weighted Dips 3 x 3

Each Monday and Friday I will add 5-10lb to each lift. I need to get really strong and powerful for fighting. Look good for both?

Looks fine to me - what particular reasons are there for front squats 2X per week instead of back squats? Are you trying to improve your quads more than posterior chain?

I want really really strong kicking power and I think it is derived mostly from the quads. I was going to throw in some heavy good mornings on monday for the posterior chain anyhow. Sound good?

There's nothing wrong with front squats, although back squats provide more overall development.

Front squats work better on the quads - if that's your goal go for it.
