Tsuridashi: hold the opponent by the mawashi and lift out; the winner carries the loser out of the ring.

Uwatedashinage: Different from Uwatenage in that the palm faces up, with the two often standing in a side-by-side position. The throw is more like a dragging motion towards the opposing side leg. This will cause a rotating motion of the opponent, so he often falls face up, while in an Uwatenage, he falls face down.
