“The Iron Bull” John Doyle was busy representing Team Hammer in two M-1 Global events during the month of August.  The first event was held on Saturday, August 15 in Amsterdam.  John, who was a member of Team USA East, fought Team Benelux’s Richard Plug.  John dominated his opponent throughout the two round fight and won by unanimous decision.  This win helped Team USA East qualify for the playoffs.

John’s second event in August was held in Kansas City on August 28.  John fought Karl “Psycho” Amoussou.  As the fight began, Karl landed a hard kick to John’s leg and John answered with a takedown.  Karl closed up a tight guard and pulled John’s head down to minimize his power.  As John attempted to posture up, Karl swept to full mount.  Karl punched away as John tried to cover up.  After absorbing punishment for a good 30 seconds, John finally gave up his back and was caught in a rear naked choke at 3:15 of the first round.
