The idea is to condition the body to work hard with lower oxygen intake. Theoretically during a match your body would be able to go harder and longer, but I'm not convinced that the type of hypoxic training they are using is worth the investment in time and effort as compared with just doing hard interval/circuit training for conditioning and more skill practice.
Then again I'm not training fighters so...
