It is one of the best ways to increase the efficiency of your cardiovascular and aerobic system so that you can continue to fight and defend yourself. Your muscles require oxygen to fire and as your system becomes taxed more of it goes to muscles like your heart and lungs which don't punch, kick or block-legs and arms do that. Also your capillaries and arteries which carry your oxygen filled blood tend to constrict which in the long run will work to your disadvantage but at first give you more oxygen for those muscles to fire. The sprinting for short distances while jogging helps to increase your endurance and efficiency of these systems further so that during a round if you have a need to flurry or have to expend some energy for a fast burst and then idle back down you can do so and not just start to have those systems and muscles fail. It is much easier to knock out or beat a tired, out of shape fighter than one that is in shape.

Jogging is to train your lungs and muscles to go the distance and endure the whole 3 rounds of kickboxing. The sprints are to train your lungs and muscles for the short intense bursts of strength when you and your opponent decide to slug it out in the middle of the ring in a flurry of punches to try to get a KO. If you fail to KO him, your jogging training kicks in again to help you make it til the last round.

By increasing your endurance and cardiovascular shape.
This is something that many fighters neglect, it does NOT matter if you have perfect technique, or are as strong as an ox, if your cardio is limited, you need to be able to last and out-cardio your opponent to have an edge to win.

When you're outside running you can meet chicks. You cant when you're wrestling around with dudes.
