I don’t actively compete in MMA so forgive me if it’s a rookie question but I do watch a lot of BJJ tournaments and MMA.

Craig Jones has continually stated that the only real options to get up from bottom position is to create scrambles and turtle. Obviously exposing your back in the process.

There’s also a YouTuber called The Weasle who’s always stating that you should never expose your back while getting up from bottom position but I don’t understand how that’s possible? Can you guys enlighten me as to how you can stand up with minimal back exposure.

I understand you can use the cage, but I’m more so talking about in open space.

Thanks!
