Short description

Former MMA champion Case Walker has stepped away from the big leagues, earning a living in small regional fights rather than accept the doping that comes with stardom. When his old friend Brody James talks him into coming to Thailand to help train for a high-paying bout against the feared fighter Caesar Braga, Walker agrees only reluctantly. An injury during training leaves Brody unable to compete, and Walker finds himself pushed into the fight himself.

Michael Jai White directs and stars in this third entry in the Never Back Down series, following Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown, which he also directed. He shares screenplay credit with Chris Hauty, and the cast includes Josh Barnett, Gillian White, Nathan Jones, Damian Mavis and Aaron Brumfield. The film is an American production from Stage 6 Films with a budget of 3 million dollars.

The film sits second in White's directing career, between Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown and Outlaw Johnny Black, with Trouble Man following later. On IMDb it holds a 6.2 rating from around 8,000 votes, while on TMDB it has a 7.1 from roughly 520 votes, a smaller and notably more favourable sample.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The entire film was shot in Thailand.
  • One of the characters is based on Kevin 'Kimbo Slice' Ferguson (1974-2016), an American mixed martial artist and later a professional boxer.
  • At the end of the film, Tony Jaa (a Thai actor specializing in martial arts films, choreographer, stuntman, and director) makes a cameo appearance.
