MMA rules?

Knocking him out doesn't work, the guy has a granite jaw. Even a roundhouse to the head only got me a knockdown.
Do it again! Try to set up a high kick to the head and if you knock him down, follow him there and start pounding his face - assuming this is a competition?

If its just class, still follow him down, keep close and work for opening to sink in a choke or lock.

If he's bench pressing you, that's an opening right there with his arms extended, not to mention that you can drag a strong dude's arm easily if he's pushing; drag his arm into an armbar and do it quick. If he tries to get up (and stack you) use your weight to roll the armbar over and bring him onto his chest.

Ever see an alligator fight something? Once it gets a grip - it rolls over and flips its opponent over, know what I mean?

It sounds like you have trouble finding or making openings for subs? or aren't very experienced in grappling?
