Never Back Down (2008)
Jake Tyler is een rebelse tiener die samen met zijn familie naar Florida verhuist, omdat zijn jongere broer daar een professionele tenniscariëre begint. In zijn vorige woonplaats was Jake een sterspeler in zijn footballteam, maar in zijn nieuwe woonplaats is hij een buitenstaander met geen goede reputatie. Als hij door zijn klasgenoot Baja wordt uitgenodigd op een groot feest lijkt Jake een kans te krijgen om misschien een beetje in te burgeren en vrienden te maken. Eenmaal op het feest wordt Jake vernederd door Ryan McCarthy in een gevecht waar hij tegen zijn zin in is verwikkeld. Na deze vernedering maakt hij kennis met een andere klasgenoot die hem vertelt over vechtclub waar ze de sport Mixed Martial Arts beoefenen. Jake is erg nieuwsgierig en gaat op zoek naar de vechtclub waar hij Jean Roqua ontmoet. In eerste instantie is deze niet geinteresseerd in Jake, maar na een tijdje neemt hij hem toch onder zijn hoede en leert hij Jake de kneepjes van het vak.
