You definitely have to roll with bigger guys. The OP didn't know this guy so I think it was a bad decision on his part.
A larger opponent should know his own strength, a lot of times you'll get guys even high level players whom can seriously hurt a smaller opponent due to shear weight and power difference. Take a big guy who has a fast game opposed to a slow methodical one. You might not even have to do anything for them to crank a submission a little to hard or to get crushed during a transition.
Rule of Thumb for me is I watch bigger guys roll before I ask them to roll or if they ask me, I make sure I know their style of game as to not get hurt.
Nothing sucks more than to sit out days/weeks/months because some asshole doesn't know how to control themselves (even high blues, purples are guilty of this!).
