I recently returned to training MMA 3 days a week Mon/Wed/Fri.
What kind of basic compound routine could I do just to build just strength 2 days a week? I know that inevitably, size gains will come as a side effect of strength gains, but I want to focus as much as possible on pure strength.

Explosive lifts for grapple and throws and general power.
Any pulling motion to move your opponent where you want them HELPS (technique is king though)
Bench just because I've seen dudes who can bench ~300 basically throw dudes off of them on the ground.

Explosive movements and compound exercises m are what you need. Wouldn't focus on getting jacked as you have to make different weight classes. Ultimately focus mostly on your skill work or else you're gonna fuck up and get smacked down like Aldo's bitch ass did.

Do you think that guys like Yoel Romero, Cheick Kongo, Vitor Belfort, Jose aldo, ect.. don't train regularly to keep their impressive physiques?
Infact i'm willing to bet some of them run bodybuilding splits
just train in the morning, eat alot, and then do your MMA training at night whn you're recovered you god damn pussy.
Arnold would lift after being in the military all day.

not movement though, know the difference
Daily reminder that were it not for the elaborate fantasy world of rules and weight classes constructed by the UFC, Coonan McGroober would be just another uppity manlet dead on the floor of some pub

low rep/high weight bench followed by lots of sets of pushups to failure

I would say just about just about any sport can benefit from cleans, builds explosive raw power.
Other than that i would say obvs the big 3, although you should front squat more often, in addition i would say that your core, with an emphasis on your obliques, the oblique s resist rotation of the torso which will make you very tough.
To sum it up i would say your top 4 exercises should be #1 Clean (jerk if you want), 2# Front squat, #3 Weighted Dips or barbell bench #4 farmers carry, do them with one arm heavy, 2 arms/heavy light, just do this goat exercise of manliness.

Belfort has been drinking orange juice since he was 17 and Yoel is a genetic freak who is also juicing.

This is along the line of what I was thinking a few basic explosive compound lifts. What I'd like to know is how to best organize them into those two days.

Lmao and all of those fighters are on good amounts of Test and HGH they can train like maniacs and recover. GSP didn't lift weights for carry-over into fighting and look at him. But I can tell you've never lifted weights intensely for a couple hours and then trained MMA/conditioning work after, topkekels.
