Bodybuilding isn't the best kind of weight training for fight conditioning. Its not bad, but your goal is to increase your maximum strength or increase your power delivery. You're looking at lifting heavy loads with few reps or light loads with a high number of reps done somewhat quickly.
Your focus isn't on doing isolation moves as much; more on compound excercises that work several groups at once.

Tom Yum, thanks for the advice.. no wonder my physique always looks different some weeks and different some weeks. Ok, my weight fluctuates really fast, it goes up and down within days. When I work out, if I do reps with more rest time in between, I notice for the following few weeks I bulk up more, but my body doesn't look as lean or cut. However, if I do reps with lesser rest time in between, it doesn't bulk up much but I feel somehow more energetic and my body looks leaner. Does it make sense? Or does it affect only me?
Anyway.. one more question, if you don't mind.. I used to do alot of isometrics, does it help to gain power? I've asked a few people, done some research, but always with mixed info.
