Aside from Moussi and Van Damme, Sara Malakul Lane and Sam Medina reprised their roles from the previous film.

Set one year after the last outing in Kickboxer: Vengeance, the plot follows MMA champion Kurt Sloane (Moussi) who is sedated and taken to a prison in Bangkok. There he meets crime boss Thomas Moore (Lambert) who runs the underground fights in Thailand. Forced to fight the champion Mongkut (Björnsson) for his freedom, Sloane is once again trained by Master Durand (Van Damme) who was imprisoned by Moore and blinded. The film received generally positive reviews from critics.
