Sweep to Mount

When attempting to gain back control or get both hooks in, the opponent may react by scooping out. In this situation, it's important to maintain control of their left shoulder. If they manage to scoop out, it can be difficult to gain back control. However, with a cross grip and tricep control, it's possible to transition to a mounted position.

1. Start by breaking the opponent's grip and positioning yourself. Ensure that your leg is not relaxed but is instead contorting the opponent's body. This involves squeezing with your hamstring and curling your leg.
2. Use your right hand for basing, with your elbow and hand on the floor. The hand that's on the opponent's neck should punch all the way to the floor.
3. Transition to a cross face, using your chest to push down on the opponent's arm. The arm that was basing should now base out to distribute your weight in a way that makes it difficult for the opponent to move you.
4. Once in this position, fight to get good control for your mount. This involves pressuring the opponent's head, squeezing with your knees, and basing with your hand.
5. If the opponent reacts by scooping their butt and rotating into you, use your leg to keep them close and your free hand to base with your elbow and hand.
6. The hand that's on the opponent's neck should punch to reach the floor, with the goal of putting your whole fist on the floor. At the same time, thrust with your hips to achieve mount.
7. Once in mount, use your forearm to cross face and your chest to push down on the opponent's triceps. The free hand should base out to distribute your weight in a way that makes it difficult for the opponent to move.
