The Excorsist from the Back Mount or Twister is a technique that I saw Bas Rutten demostrate on an MMA show not too long ago.

This tech is a variation of the Twister for when your opponent has his hands locked and is holding on for dear life. Basically it is a neck / spine crank so be careful with this one when with your training partners.

I am only going to go over the finishing moves for this technique in the pictures below. For details on how to get to this position you can pick up Mastering the Twister for MMA.

This tech has been a great addition to my game and offers another option for finishing when a person is blocking the Twister.

At this point in the path to the Twister I have my opponents left leg in the Lockdown but I was not quick enough to catch his right arm with the Baseball Bat Control.

At this point I could transition to my opponents back and go for the RNC or I can release my left arm, put it under my opponents neck while controlling his right bicep and ...

Lock up my hands with the Ball & Socket grip.

The only thing left to do is straighten out the Lockdown as much as possible and crank my opponents face until his head spins.
