The first three Never Back Down movies were full of punishing fight scenes and the training montages typical of martial arts tournament movies. RELATED: Undisputed: How Scott Adkins Saved The Franchise While not much else has been revealed about the film aside from casting info (such as former MMA fighter Michael Bisping portraying one of the villains), this already shows that Revolt is raising the stakes considerably from those of the first three Never Back Down movies by bringing a kidnapping plot and an underground tournament into the mix like a throwback to the Bloodsport and Kickboxer movies. Revolt will see Olivia Popica play a woman who is kidnapped and forced to compete in an underground MMA tournament. Never Back Down: Revolt will see Kellie Madison in the director's chair, while the movie itself will be quite a different entity from the three before it.

The series later continued in 2016 with Never Back Down: No Surrender, with White once again directing. Beginning with the original Never Back Down in 2008, the MMA series really found its groove with 2011's Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown, which also marked the directorial debut of Michael Jai White. The upcoming Never Back Down: Revolt will change things up quite a bit for the Never Back Down series.
