For that knuckle trick, you can shove his elbow forward and over and set up an arm triangle. Once you have the arm trapped, insert a butterfly and sweep so you can finish from top. You can actually finish from the bottom but it is lower percentage and takes quite a while to develop the proper squeeze.
Or you can use the jaws of life, strategically placing the meaty part of your hand into his eye ( the area under the thumb still puts pressure on the eye without digging into it). It is hard for your opponent to keep the knuckle pressure up while his head is being forced backwards. Also, it probably hurts his eye a little bit. I believe one good turn deserves another.
