While being on the ground is never the place to be, it can be argued that, in the case of more than one attacker, being on your back, with one of them in your guard is not such a bad place, read: Shield.

One good reason to train how to pass guard and take mount as fast as possible.

It can be argued (argumentive today, aren't I ?) that, being in the mount VS multiple attacker is more dangerous, sure you have the advantage over one of them, but your back is exposed and you are vulnerable to getting kicked in the face.

Still better off than being in guard when facing multiple attackers since you have the potential to quickly incapacitate the guy you are sitting on and get up in a hurry. In guard your back and face are still exposed and you have mobility restrictions.

One can argue (LOL!), that is not the case, you say that you can quickly incapcitate from the mount?
How so?
Chokes take time and leave you vulnerable.
The GnP takes time and while you are GnP'ing you are not watching your back.
Going for a sub takes time and commitment of all your tools....
In the guard your back is less exposed, after all, its on the ground.

GnP HARDER!

Seriously you don't need a knockout, daze the guy enough to take the fight out of him and move on. Or, alternatively, stab.

hey, you didn;t mention weapons !
It can be argued that, with a knife for example, that being on our backs, with the attacker in the guard, is a better place to stab him and still see what is going on, then we can filet him and maybe use a limb as a weapon.

Now that's just silly. I'm calling shennanigans on that one.

Would you believe that you can rip through his skull with your ***** from the triangle?
