You have a very good base I'm sure, so I'd be doing at least 2 of your lifts a week in the 1-5 rep range to further develop maximal strength, and then a different lift with 50-60%RM weights lifted as quickly as possible to develop rate of force (important in mma). As for cutting weight: First off if you don't have any competition coming up, I'd take out all the supplements, you don't need any of them, they're very expensive, and most will hinder you from losing weight. You also seem to be doing a LOT of eating. Cut back on that. Continue a balanced diet, just make your portions smaller. You'll still get all the nutrients you need without the supplements. Are you trying to cut to 205? If not, then you should probably stay at 265, since that's the cutoff for heavyweight in most mma organizations. My further advice would be to do more rounds on the heavy bag to help your form as well as give you some HIIT exercise, which burns fat better than aerobic exercise. Best of luck, and if you have any further questions you can PM me if you like. Since you played football in college I assume that you know that your lifts should be heavy and compound.
