Moving from bottom half guard to the dog-fight position is a great way to threaten your opponent and expose their back. When your opponent counters your underhook with an overhook of their own, you can limp-arm your way out and attack their back. If your opponent lets you have an underhook and doesn’t counter with an overhook, your path to the back is even easier.

When you have a tight head and arm control from bottom closed guard, you’ll often be able to hip-escape, improve your angle relative to your opponent, and transition to a gift-wrap grip. From there, you have a few options to take the back depending on your preferences, positioning, and body-type.
