At the age of 19, Holloway had amassed a record of 4-0. He gained recognition as the #7 featherweight of all time in Bloody Elbow’s 2012 World MMA Scouting Report and has even been compared to former UFC and former WEC light-weight champion Anthony Pettis, due to his ability to incorporate a wide array of flying and spinning kicks, knees and elbows into his striking game. His early career was highlighted by a split decision win over former Strikeforce[11] and WEC veteran Harris Sarimento on March 12, 2011, earning himself the lightweight strap for the Hawaii-based X-1 promotion.
