The Fighter can do it. The Bard can only give the mark to the Fighter. Just like with your interpretation.
What does that have to do with anything I said? In my example the fighter isn't doing anything. It could be the first turn of the entire campaign so the fighter hasn't done anything except roll initiative. How does the monster suddenly know about fighter class features, given that the fighter didn't do anything at all whatsoever.
Round 1
Fighter attacks enemy 1: Marks him. [At this point, what do you think enemy 1 knows?]
Bard attacks enemy 2: Marks him, assigns the mark to the fighter[at this point, what do you think enemy 2 knows]
Enemy 2 attacks bard: fighter whacks enemy 2 with CC [are you saying this is impossible? because you've said earlier it was possible. At this point what does enemy 2 know?]
Enemy 1 attacks bard: nothing else happens
Enemy 1 attacking the bard would still trigger combat challenge, as fighter marks aren't one-at-a-time like divine challenge.
