Weight training for combat

Weight training for combat sports (not weight lifting) is great for gaining solid, usable muscle, however, the size you're losing now
might be body fat, which is a good thing.
Training everyday might be a little too much. Even well conditioned athletes need a rest day at least once a week, especially if your workouts are intense.

I wouldn't be too worried about losing size unless your heart is set on the next weight class up. You might be more natural in a lower weight class.
More importantly, how is your strength, speed and bodyfat level?

Increasing muscle mass takes time. Good intense heavy-bag work supplemented with functional resistance training will do the trick. Just be patient.

That was always the difference between Muhammad Ali and the rest of us. He came, he saw, and if he didn't entirely conquer -- he came as close as anybody we are likely to see in the lifetime of this doomed generation.
