Plot:



Jake Tyler helps his high-school football team win an important game. A frustrated player from the opposing team makes taunts about Jake's father, who was killed while driving drunk. Infamously-hot-tempered Jake starts a brawl with the opposing player. Spectators capture said brawl with mobile phones and video-cameras. Soon, the brawl is uploaded to the internet



Jake gets thrown off the team for brawling, but takes it in stride because he is leaving this school anyway. He and his younger brother Charlie are moving with their widowed mom to Orlando, Florida...where Charlie has received a scholarship. The Tyler brothers are close despite Jake's penchant for fighting and getting into trouble, which greatly upsets their mom



At his new school, Jake has a hard time fitting in. He catches the eye of Baja Miller, a pretty classmate who flirts with him. Later, Jake notices fellow student Max Cooperman getting beaten up on campus. Jake rushes to Max's aid, only to discover that the "bullying" he disrupted was actually a street-kickboxing match. Everybody present, including Max, demands that the astonished Jake leave



At school the next day, Max lets it be known that that there are videos on the internet of Jake's football brawl, which has gained him a positive reputation on campus. Max invites Jake to come and learn mixed martial arts with his instructor, while Baja invites Jake to a party at her boyfriend Ryan McCarthy's mansion. Jake declines the former offer but accepts the latter. At McCarthy Manor that night, host Ryan - having seen the internet footage - challenges Jake to demonstrate his brawling prowess in a fight against...Ryan himself. When Jake refuses the challenge, letting Ryan know that Jake came to the party only because Baja invited him. Ryan kisses Baja in front of Jake to verify whose girlfriend she is. Jake realizes that he's being set up, and attempts to leave - until Ryan makes taunts about the disgraceful death of Jake's dad. An angry Jake accepts the challenge but is brutally defeated by Ryan. Even Baja appears disgusted by Jake's losing the brawl



A day later, Max comes to Jake's house, and repeats the invitation to come and learn Mixed Martial Arts from Max's instructor, Jean Roqua. This time, Jake accepts. He meets Max at Roqua's gym and is introduced to Roqua himself. Roqua briefly interviews Jake...who, he senses, is there for the wrong reasons. Nonetheless, Roqua allows Jake to train with him - both in class, and personally before classes - on the condition that Jake does not fight anybody for any reason outside the gym. Jake notices that Roqua apparently lives in the gym



Baja comes to Jake and begs his pardon for setting him up with that fight against Ryan. Yet she also points out that Jake wanted the fight as well. Jake shrugs off her apology. Baja goes back and breaks up with Ryan, whom she claims is a sadist. Ryan grabs her in a rage (thereby proving her point). Jake rushes up and breaks Ryan's grip on Baja. To save face, Ryan repeats his insults against Jake's late father. Later, in Roqua's gym, it becomes apparent that Jake's anger and guilt (over letting his intoxicated father drive that night, against the boy's better judgment) has affected his training for the worse. Roqua sends Jake home to cool off. Max gives Jake a ride back. En route, Jake and Max are accosted by three gang members. A fight breaks out, which Jake wins easily, and which Max catches on video. As with the football video, this one bolsters Jake's reputation among his classmates; he is now second only to Ryan as the most popular guy in school. The jealous Ryan challenges Jake to The Beatdown: a local underground fight tournament

Unfortunately for Jake, Roqua sees the video as well. He banishes Jake from the gym, refusing to even give back the two-month membership dues Jake paid him in advance. When Roqua goes grocery shopping, Jake confronts him and admits that Roqua was right: he signed up to train for the wrong reasons. Jake also tells Roqua the late Mr. Tyler's story; evidently, Jake feels that his mother blames him for her husband's demise. Roqua then tells his story: he had an older brother, who was an excellent mixed-martial artist. One day in a bar, a local bully mouthed off at young Jean, who was about to fight the bully when Jean's brother intervened and fought the other man himself. His brother won the brawl, only to be shot and killed by the bully's friends. Jean's father blames him for permitting the situation to escalate into violence which could have been avoided. Jean left home over that; he has not seen his father, or even set foot in Brazil, for the past seven years
