Background

Mixed martial arts career

The Ultimate Fighter

Eliot appeared on season 8 of The Ultimate Fighter. To be a castmember for the rest of the season he had to win his bout against Karn Grigoryan in the elimination round. Eliot lost the fight via a controversial split decision that shocked all spectators leaving many to believe that the judges thought Marshall was Grigoryan. Before Eliot left it was announced that a few fighters would be unable to continue onto the show, with Karn being one of them. Needing a replacement, Eliot was given a second chance.

He had his second fight in the house against Shane Primm, he defeated Primm by rear naked choke early in the first round. After the match, Eliot called out future opponent and TUF winner Ryan Bader.
