Yeah man, the best defense is too play footsie with him. Straighten your legs out so the ankles are crossed and push him of the toe hold, then when he goes for a texas clover leaf pull your legs back into a figure 4/ Triangle position. You have to actively defend you foot while you try to attack his. Hence "playing footsie" Still have yet to master it myself, but I see Ryan Hall do this all the time in competition.
