What is Full mount in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)?

Sitting astride the opponent's torso — one of the most dominant ground positions. The top fighter can rain down strikes with little coming back, and attack armbars and chokes; escaping mount usually means giving up the back.

Example: From full mount the strikes forced the referee to step in.
