Jerome Max Kelii Holloway [4] [5] (born December 4, 1991) is an American professional mixed martial artist.

Holloway was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and raised in Waianae, an area known for fist fighting. [7] [8] He is of Native Hawaiian and Samoan ancestry. [9] [10] Holloway's parents were heavy drug users, his mother Missy Kapoi being a crystal meth consumer who later recovered. His father, Mark Holloway, who constantly abused his mother, left when Max was around 11 years old.

He gained recognition as the #7 featherweight prospect of 2012 in Bloody Elbow's 2012 World MMA Scouting Report and was compared with former UFC and former WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, due to his ability to incorporate a wide array of flying and spinning kicks, knees and elbows into his striking game. [14]
His early career was highlighted by a split decision win over former Strikeforce [15] and WEC veteran Harris Sarimento on March 12, 2011, earning himself the lightweight strap for the Hawaii-based X-1 promotion. [16]
