>I got him using Smith Machines cuz he can lift more without worrying about stability
You should definitely worry about stability even if it means lifting with less weight. It's the difference between knees that are healthier after doing squats than knees that are worse. I would say cut out use of the Smith Machine entirely.
If the squats are being done properly with a working weight that only allows him to do 8 reps per set, forget the leg press too.
>I hear that Flexibility is more important than muscle power in a fight, is that true?
Sorry, I don't know much about that. I wouldn't say it's more important but equally important.
An inflexible fighter can get submitted in no time and will have decreased striking ability whether it be punching or kicking. Strength, agility, flexibility, and stamina are a must for MMA fighters.
If your fighter is stronger than he his flexible, keep training his strength, striking power, etc. but work on his flexibility more
Throw in some military presses, make sure he stretches properly after your workouts, and apply some of the advice I gave in

It isn't as structured as I'd like it to be but I hope that helped! Best of luck!
