Mark Coates 12-10 Bantamweight Ranks #703 in North America

Mark Coates, a 29-year-old bantamweight from Spokane Valley Washington, has built a 12-10 record under the banner of The Revolution MMA. Known in the cage as Marky Mark, Coates stands 5'8" (174 cm) and has toggled between bantamweight and featherweight in his last two fights. His willingness to shift divisions reflects a fighter still searching for the ideal path to climb the ranks. Regionally Coates is ranked only where he’s met the two-fight threshold over his last six bouts. That rule slots him at #703 in North America and secures him places in the US West and Idaho standings at both bantamweight and featherweight. It is a reminder of the narrow windows available to fighters outside the spotlight, where each matchup can make or break a regional standing. In Spokane’s local circuit Coates has become something of a journeyman, moving between small shows and talent-spotting cards without ever gaining prolonged momentum. His record reads like a ledger of incremental gains—each contest an opportunity to refine his strategy, each outcome a data point in a career defined by persistence rather than immediate stardom.
