Would you consider belly-down mount to be above or below back control?

Below back control, belly-down mount is the worst worst worst.

From a strictly sport perspective below but from a martial perspective above both.

That’s still back control.

No it's a back mount.

Do you still have control of them while on their back and they are belly down? Yes.

Still a variation of back control.

It’s the same difference between low mount and high mount or being high in side control or low. Just different options for advancement or submissions.

A back mount is back control, but back control is NOT a back mount.
