Depends on the fighter, incredible how they do it though, you'd think it would take a lot out of them. Read this, it's pretty interesting about GSP

It really is this simple:
3 x a week, before breakfast, 30-40 mins of steady state cardio (some people will say do HIIT but each to their own).
3-4 x a week, after work go to gym and do weights. There is loads of info online for routines etc, stick to compounds.
As for diet, do as you say cut out all the crap, stick to protein + good fats for most of your meals, and carbs for about half of them. Then monitor how your weight changes after a week, 0.75kg-1kg weight loss would be a good target. Then adjust cardio and/or diet accordingly if you are not meeting your target.
Personally, the way I lost 10kg in 8 weeks was doing SS cardio 3xweek before breakfast, weights in gym 4xweek to keep muscle mass, and through carb cycling for diet and adjusting accordingly.

Pretty impressive. Just emphasizes my point, but in the other direction

i think anderson silva drops a crazy amount too from his walking weight to his fighting weight, i think he walks around at 225lbs normally when he doesn't have a fight and is just training, his fight weight is 185lbs
thats 40lbs he cuts to fight at 185lbs probably takes him 2-4 weeks to cut too.
neeeed moooaar muscle!
4 months up a mountain in Islas Malvinas with nothing to do in my spare time apart from go to the gym will sort me out.
Im not exactly sure where that is, so im gonna take a guess at South America with a name like that
Ive got Basic training on down here Soon then onto IET, Im hoping to lose the stomach in that time
Being away from chocolate will definitely help remove the aerodynamic curve ive got
It could be just a mind game thing since ive got such skinny wrists and ankles. I blame bone structure for that
Ive always said i wouldnt mind to be sitting around 80kg though

They fed us pretty well in basic training, I'm sure I could've been a lot fitter if I'd followed my own routine instead of theirs
And Islas Malvinas are a group of Islands off the coast of Argentina... if you know your British military history you'll have heard of them

Ive heard of the Falklands so im guessing its something similar to that
Sounds like a Great location to be sent though
As similar as you can get actually, because that's exactly it
Not the best place in the world really... but at least it's summer when I'm there and I miss the British winter (don't even think about mentioning Christmas, I'm pretending it doesn't exist this year)
Any update on how you're getting on OP?
