Deep 1/2 guard DOES NOT work in mma

I use it in MMA all the time.

I've been kneed or elbowed in the face a fair amount, but never that I can remember from deep half guard, and until recently that was literally the only game I played. You might be either controlling the hips and staying connected poorly, or don't have the proper frames and checks in place to manage distance.
