I train athletes and have trained three NFL players. It's not about advanced exercises as you mentioned. It's about knowing what improvements are being targeted and then laying out a plan consisting of the proper combination of movements with the proper strategy to get you to those results as efficiently as possible. While most trainers are not nutritionists, diet carries a significant importance. You cannot out-train a bad diet. I've read and heard some of the strategies that Ariza has put together and have nothing but respect for those things I've read - I don't know everything he does so I can't speak to that.
If you follow developments and studies in exercise science you'll learn that a lot of the methods that the so called "professionals" use are really antiquated and don't maximize your time and efforts. The biggest mistake I see in training programs (other than bad form) is a waste of time. A waste of time using methods that have been proven ineffective. Some of the methods I've read that Ariza uses are those that have been proven in recents studies to be more effective than prior methods that seem to be the norm in most programs.
Most fighters prep for 8 weeks prior to a fight. That is not a lot of time to correctly make significant improvements if you do not know what you're doing. More importantly if you can employ the methods proven to be most effective and if you supplement with goal appropriate nutrition you will be doing the best thing you can do and that is to maximize your time, efforts and results
