I've never seen it before. You can see the guy thinking like he's trying to solve a puzzle just before he gets the tap.

Depends on what got the tap. Could either be a knee bar or crotch ripper. That looked awesome though. Very slick way to get into that truck like position.

OK, I see the knee bar part. Is a crotch ripper different than a banana split? Also couldn't the guy in black have avoided the knee bar-crotch ripper if he had released his let hand grip and gone belly down? I think it's the transition to that last position that's got me all discombobulated.
* left hand grip
Whoa that was surprising I was for sure the guy in black had it. For sure. But thats the beauty of this sport lol.
Crotch ripper forces the opponent to do a front splits/right splits. The banana splits forces the opponent to do a middle splits/straddle splits.
The guy had a chance to escape before his foot got taken by rolling like you said. But once he had his ankle grabbed, he was pretty much in a controlled position veeery similar to the truck. I think the guy in black was working for a back take, but the victor maintained super heavy hips and once he secured that foot it was only a matter of time before he got the tap. Very slick stuff.
On a side note, I wonder if this might make it into the system. Seems like it could fit right into the truck series.
