Mount Escape when Opponent has Cross Collar Grip (Fundamentals)

Professor Donovan Espinosa teaches how to escape from the mount position when the opponent has a cross collar grip. Donovan immediately control the grip on the collar by gripping the wrist. He uses his other hand to grip the opponent’s same side shoulder and pulls the opponent in. He then traps the foot on the same side as the shoulder grip and bridges to that side. Donovan then ends up in the opponent's closed guard.
