John Eric Marriott has amassed a 17-2 professional record while applying his craft in minor organizations around the midwest of the USA.

Having previously fought at Lightweight, and even at Welterweight, Marriott has most recently settled down in the Featherweight division where he is ranked #23 by FightMatrix and has won 9 bouts in a row, all in the last 11 months.

Marriott has recently been signed by Bellator and will take part in their Featherweight tournament.

Fighter Focus is our way of aiming the spotlight onto rising fighters that are still in relative obscurity.

Ranking Notes: Dark green font represents an approximate ranking. An asterisk represents a fighter who is ranked, but too low for an approximation. These two scenarios will clear up slightly as we move forward. “NR” means the fighter is not ranked, due to inactivity, or due to a rating that is at or below the default starter rating.

The database has come a long way since we started, and unfortunately, our available time has dwindled.  Currently, we are approaching 100,000 bouts and now rank nearly 2,000 fighters each week.  Most of this process is automated, but there is a lot of footwork involved!  Ancillary data must be researched and entered.  This data includes:

• Weight limits
• Pro/Am status
• Scorecards

When you add corrections to the list, this can become quite an endeavor!  Therefore, we are looking for a few good volunteers to help us in moving forward.  Can you help us?  Do you meet ALL of the following minimum requirements we are looking for?

• Basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel (and 2003/2007 installed on your PC).
• Great online researching ability.
• Good knowledge of MMA web sites and MMA history.
• Ability to handle basic conversions (kilograms to pounds).
• Three hours of time, per week.

In addition to helping us, this can serve as a great time-killer!

If you are interested, please reply to the “Research Project” global thread in our forum.
