Filming got underway a few weeks ago in Bangkok where a set has been specifically constructed in order to resemble an MMA gym. The cast also includes Thai actress Jeeja Yanin while Oliver Coste, who has refereed at events in Asia like ONE Championship, Full Metal Dojo and Malaysian Invasion will also be involved.
Thailand has played host to some classic martial arts movies over the years such as Kickboxer and Ong Bak. It is a little known fact that the former has spawned four sequels so far with another one currently in the production stage.
Whether Never Back Down 3 will go down as one of the greatest action moves of all time (like the original Kickboxer) or sink without a trace (like Kickboxer 5: ‘The Redemption’) remains to be seen. Any MMA fans desperate to see the sport on the big screen again will get to see for themselves when it is released in approximately 6 months time.

woah they are totally ripping off MFC's logo
Jai White is legit as fuck, but Barnett would slam his poop into his eyeballs in a real fight.
I'm interested to see how this turns out.
They should've made it an original movie though, I like MJW and Barnett, and if the acting is half ass good, it could be a decent movie.
Never Back Down Bro.

I take exception to your heinous allegation that the Thais would dare to rip off anyone's logo.
This is balderdash. The Thais never copied anything. Ever.
Take it back.
