Mount escapes for mma are tricky since you need to be clinched in order to avoid damage from punches yet you need space in order to create an escape. Just like with any other escape, regardless of it its for mma or sport jits, it doesn't always work. Chaining moves together such as a hip bump from heel-on-butt to create space and then going for something always has a higher rate of success. With that in mind, watch Dan Henderson vs Shogun Rua. Yeah yeah I know Dan was mounted for a while but he did escape multiple times. Getting punched in the face in order to escape seems like a requirement. Here is another option that works for my skinny ass against even larger opponents for sports jits.
