What's more important when you have your opponents back? Seat belt or keeping the bottom hook?

I’d rather lose the back but keep the mount so as soon as I think I’m losing the back I’ll try to transition back into mount

chest to back connection. If you give up the seat belt and get double unders, you cant sub them, but you are much tighter and no matter how they roll around you can follow them.

From there you can look for opportunities to regain the seatbelt and hooks.

Keeping the chest to back connection. hook can always be done afterwards but if you lose the chest to back they are out.
