Was watching the Joe Hogan podcast with War Machine, and it was actually pretty interesting to hear his insights on sparring and how other fighters spar.

@ 1:22:00 and on WM talks about how Robbie Lawler doesn't spar at all, and how he'll only spar once a week now with MMA gloves only.
He mentions how it's good for beginners to spar hard more often to get that comfort, but as you get more comfortable, hard sparring has a point of diminishing returns.
Cool podcast all around.
