I fully trust that you know how to grapple. You sound very knowledgable on the post I have seen. However, leaving the back open is not a good idea. The back of the head, especially at the base of the spine is a very bad place to be hit and can cause unconsciousness. Then you have the kidneys, which if are bruised can be incredibly painful, to the point of incapacitation in a lot of people. Being struck in the spine can cause instant paralysis and/or make you pass out. There are also numerous pressure points on the back that can cause a lot of pain and even seal the breath if struck correctly. This is my opinion and take it as such, but any "plan" that includes leaving yourself open for unmitigated strikes is faulty.

You are a ground fighter so I assume you know some stand up grappling as well. I believe a better approach would be to use your grappling skills to keep one attacker between the other until you can incapaciate one with strikes, a break, or throw. Granted, against two attackers anyone is at a big disadvantage.
