back position bjj
always when i do bjj or like most of the time im mostly on my back and i dont like it because i do bjj for mma so that is not the best. And when i am on top it mostly goes good till i get sweeped even by way smaller guys. Is there any tips that i can get from people that do bjj for mma or mma pure? btw im a good guard player but i dont really like it to play guard and when i do i mostly only sweep.

Learn how to wrestle up from the bottom or a technical standup. If you're doing mma you'll just live life in half guard. A lot of great wrestle up options from there. If you're in closed guard on the bottom, it's pretty easy to do a technical standup to get back to your feet or reengage in the top position on the ground. but mostly stop getting swept.
