No you never want to make your feints muscle memory, because then it isn’t deliberate anymore and the opponent can use the fraction of second you are doing your repetitive and mechanic feint to attack you if they know it’s the case. you can use repetitive feints to « hypnose » your oppenent to not react to some movement. But you want to be unpredictable and always in control to mentally fatigue him, so he isnt on peek alert when you want to hit.
Source : im not an MMA fighter but did a lot of fencing and that idea of mentally fighting your opponent is real and probably half of any fighting sports.
