I'm nearly identical to weight and you, im about 5'11 155 pounds. I got to admit, it is the best feeling in the world when you tap out a guy twice your size.
I remember several months ago, I tapped out a fellow blue belt who was about 6'2 and pushing 250 pounds with a guillotine. I couldn't believe it myself. I passed this off for a lucky fluke, but I caught him the next week with a triangle from the bottom of side control. Now that was lucky!
I recently started doing nogi more to supplement my training, and I went against a BEAST the other day. This guy was the type of dude that stands out wherever you go. I never met the guy before but gigantic doesn't begin to describe him. He was probably 6'6-6'7, and I found out he weighed more than 300 pounds. He wasn't just some fatty either, he wasn't ripped by no stretch, but he had a powerlifting shirt on haha. I knew it would be fun.
It started off with me easily getting pushed down, and found the guy in my guard. I couldn't touch my legs behind him, let alone close my guard. He then easily stood up about to pass, when then I found an opportunity to use that sweep where you grab both of the back of his ankles, and use your shins to push his abdomen which rocks him onto his back. There I found myself in mount haha. From there I spent a good min or so making sure I don't get bucked off. I could tell he was gassing though. I then snuck my leg past his arm and went for the triangle for mount. What I didn't anticipate was how hard it would be to get this choke on him. His shoulder were too wide for my legs to touch so I worked for nearly a min to get my leg in the position to lock it. Right when I had it sunk in he swept me over, but it was too late, I had the choke and finished it. Ahh that was a great roll.
