Dave, this may be kind of blue-skying it but you keep tweaking the back and I think I might sense a trend. You mentioned mobility and then you mention yoga sessions.

I don't know what the yoga sessions consist of but you know, all ROM, even for a mma fighter is not necessarily GOOD ROM. Something to keep in mind.

Most of the time when someone's back is feeling tight...they assume they need more range of motion in the back. Is this where you are trying to get the mobility? I'm sure you work on this a lot but what about hip mobility. This is really YOUR area I know, but one difference I've noticed between the really successful mma fighters..the really strong ones, especially, is that they are getting most of the ROM, their mobility from their hips. The back has some suppleness but it is not where the mobility really comes from.

I've definitely noticed that some of the young grapplers seem to use their lower back to replace hip mobility. Bad recipe. Now I know you aren't doing this but I'm just putting it out there that if your back is stiff and getting tweaked it could be due to lack of mobility in another place you need it.

You're training is brutal though, lol. Pain is to be expected I reckon! I'm not the one doing it so everything I say could be meaningless. I may also have missed some details so if so, my apologies.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
