Your in the same position I'm in. I'm out in the middle of nowhere and the only thing I can get to is Karate and its just not too appealing compared to Muay Thai or BJJ. They told me to run, lift, jump rope, work with a punching bag, and really work yourself. One guy even said as a last resort buy instructional DVD's.

Work, sleep, eat. These three things make you stronger. Detract from proper amounts of any of these three and you will become weaker.
Mindset: Pain is weakness leaving your body.
Tactics. Know where you want the fight to go. In most fights that it the ground. Get a partner and work on passing the guard, the guard position, and control in both.
Chokes, arm bars, and wrist locks. Joint and neck manipulation is key. you need to be fluent in all three. this takes time and information.
train fully in three phases, ground, distance, and entering and grappling with someone better than you in each area. Find a wresler for ground, find a boxer for distance or a TKD guy, and find Aikido, or Kungfu guy for entering, trapping, or a good grappler will do also.
Work=lift, run, fight, eat=good food fruit, veggies, no pop, no crapola, Sleep means 8 to 10 hours a day. No beer, booze or drugs and no girls.
Meditate, concentrating on centering yourself in the lower part of your stomach, where the mind goes so does the chi.
Visualize the fight and a successful outcome.
research the rules and your opponent, watch his fights, talk to people he already had a fight with.
Decide you will not lose, even if it means getting your arm or leg broke. Decide what you are fighting for deep down.
NEVER give up.
Do all that, you will win, Why, because the other guy did not!
Now go kick some tail.

Here are a few things that I put to use when I used to fight that may help you. First, never lose a fight because you did not train or were not in shape. Second, you can't directly control how good or how tough the other guy is-you can only control how good or tough you are. That being said this was my workout for amature three round fights:
Roadwork: Usually 2-3 mornings running, then a morning of rest and then 2-3 more mornings; four miles each morning. The morning of rest would help give my legs, feet, and ankles a little rest from everything else and help my body to rest also and recover while still doing my afternoon and evening workouts.
Ab work every morning after running-even on the mornings I did not run. Ab work consisted of 250 crunches in sets of fifty and 75 leg raises and usually 3-5 minutes of medicine ball work.
Shadowboxing and shadow kicking at the begining of every workout in the afternoon for 10 minutes followed by seven four minute rounds on the heavy bag with only a 45 second rest in between rounds. At least one of those rounds would be sraight jabbing-nothing else and I would alternate between the left side and the right every 30-45 seconds. After those seven I would do two rounds of nothing but straight kicking on the heavy bag (75% of these kicks would be lead leg kicks alternating between left and right every 30-45 seonds). This way I could jab or kick in the last round as fast and hard as in the first round and never be too tired to. I would then follow this with a cool down shadow boxing and shadow kicking period of 5-8 minutes and then my cool down strectching. I would spire at least one night per week with other fighters and do pad drills at least two other nights per week. All those rounds at night would be three minutes long with a 45 second rest and usually the sparring was four rounds and the pad drill nights were never less than five round nights.
By doing longer rounds and having shorter rests I was always in good shape and able to do the shorter rounds in the actual fight with little problem and could fight the entire round. Also my body was used to recovering after a 45 second rest so the minute in the actual fight was gravy. I only lost one amature fight and won a high percentage of my pro fights and never ran out of gas. I would allow myself one full day of rest each week with no working out and that was usually Sunday. Needless to say I only worked partime, late nights and had the advantage of some addtional income so I did not have to work full time. Something like the above should give you a good start and you can of course modify it based on your schedule. Good luck on your next fight.

If you can't get to a gym you could work on your cardio on your own. Jump rope, sprints, plyos etc. Try to work in similar timings to the rounds for your coming fight, but over-compensate... ie if you're going to fight 3Rx3mins w/1min rest, then jump rope for 3x5mins w/30secs rest. (Just an example.)
Mix it up with some body-weight strength exercises... push-ups, crunches and (most importantly if you're fighting MT or Knockdown or any low-kick rules) squats - in sets of 2 mins or so.
Shadow work is also important if you cant get to a gym. Work out your best combos and practice to a point that they come without too much thought.
Best of luck in your fight.

The most important is to train with a sparring partner.
Find a partner,put on some gear and train.
There is no substitute for being hit.
Distance running and rope climbing are good for conditioning.
