You mean first finish? Joe Stevenson did it to Nate Diaz earlier that year but didn't get the finish. That's how I learned of this awesomeness.

Once you're on the ground in that position, If you somehow kept control of the leg that's near your head, while swimming your head through to the other side of the leg, bring the leg that you have over the back of his knee around to the opposite side of the dudes ass, there could be a rolling back take like the one Geo did at 4:19 of this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abNRxoKfZWE
I might be missing something important but it seems like it'd work, I'll have to take it to the lab. The Spladle is definitely a position I'm gonna try work on though!
I mean I guess you could but it seems like such a dead zone I wouldn't want to give it up.
Here's my other wacky idea, if the guys not tapping, you bail on the leg you're underhooking with your arm and slide it up underneath his neck and then bail on the leg your legs are hooking and you just scoop his head and slide out to north south and hold that choke. It's like an inverted north south. I haven't hit that full speed but I was playing with it last night and I don't see why it wouldn't work
I think a guilly or ninja choke would work too
You think there's any chance Eddie sees this and tries to play with it? I'd love to see his opinion or any tips he has
Drilled it today, gonna try it live this weekend. I see guillotines from there.
I used to spladle a little bit in wrestling but haven't thought about using it in jiu jitsu at all. I can't think of many times where I would find myself in a position to get there, but then again, I haven't been looking for it. I really like the position though so I'm going to start looking for opportunities.
