I got him w/ an ankle lock, but I did it very slow & under control... you can tell I was kind of hesitant to pull the move too. I didn't know what else I could do in that weird ass position, so I just put my feet in his armpits and tried to wiggle my legs out but that didn't work. I was trying to sweep but he's so huge he came crashing down before I could get out from underneath him.
In that situation I would've gone for it as well... really weird position

Yeah that was the first time i've ever been in that position lol. I'm usually successful w/ that sweep and starting a scramble, taking their back about half the time... but he's so huge he just came crashing down while I was trying to sneak out the back lol.

Haha, yeah I can see that being a problem
Let's all explore the possibilities from that position and see what we come up with. I don't know how many times we'll end up there but you never know

That's what I was trying to do when we went to that position, trying to see what was available. He was trying to ride up my stomach into a n/s type position, so I was pushing his legs away w/ my hands while pushing in his armpit w/ my feet so he couldn't ride up my stomach. I sat up and wanted to get my legs out so I could take his back, but he had a vice grip on my legs so that wasn't gonna happen. So I just had to take the ankle after all the other options were out. I just inverted the ankle a little bit to get him rolling, and then I brought my legs out when he rolled to secure the ankle lock.
I'm sure there'd be some decent sweeps available to the bottom guy, but w/ the size disadvantage in our case I didn't have enough strength to sweep him.

With the size difference and the lack of mobility that the position gave you...the toehold is the only and the goto move that comes to mind....Ive actually been there before...and its a race situation.....first to toehold wins..
You could have used both hands to push off on his ass, to sort of shrimp out of there and take his back.....but.......your pants would have probably came off...and nobody wants to see that.....lol
