Ok, I'll start.
One I like a lot is to have a person on bottom, pulling half guard. While the guy on top is throwing hits (intensity of the strikes is dependant on the comfort level and skill level of the players) to the head and body only. The guy on bottom can only sweep or attempt to take the back. Once swept or back taken, the drill starts over. Partners can switch or stay in the same position.

the point is to have the bottom guy sweep, or to have him get his butt kicked?

LOL the point is to have the guy on bottom develop a better passing game while taking hits.

When IM preparing for a MMA fight I try to work on my basics.

Drill 1 shooting in on a punching opponent.

My training partner will ware Martial Arts Gloves
my goal is to bridge the Gap & take him to the ground.

Drill 2 shooting in on a kicker.
My opponent will have kickers stance in both orthodox & south paw
& will kick me as I shoot in to take him to the floor.

Drill 2 Ground & pound.
For this I use a heavy bag Thai Banana length, I will strike hard
from mount, Cross body & knee on stomach position.

Drill 3 defending the Ground & pound.

A.><><><I put my self on the bottom in the Guard my goals are to submit
revers or get back to my feat.

B. IM in 1/2 Guard my goals are reverse, take his back, get full guard

C. From the Mount, my goals are to reverse so IM in his guard & get out
& back to my feat.

Drill 4. Live opponent it's a slow yielding sparing match.
The Goal is to think about tecnique & warm up.

Drill 5 Live Live Live the Fight is on Drill is to FIGHT

I like Ace's drills, particularly the slow motion spar. Great for warm-up. Also like his ground and pound on the dummy or heavy bag. We do that one, and sometimes make it tougher by having another guy grab your arms from behind as you are striking. Exhausting!
