Martial artist, former marine, ex-con Isaiah Bone moves to Los Angeles, where underground fights are held. One night, after watching a match involving local champion Hammerman, Bone makes a deal with promoter Pinball to get him into the fight scene for 20% of his earnings; 40% if Pinball puts his own money on the line. Bone wins his first underground fight with only two kicks. On that same night, Bone meets mob boss James and his girlfriend Angela Soto. Pinball explains that James set up Angela's husband Danny on a triple-homicide, sending him to jail. Since then, Angela has fallen into drug addiction.
Over the next few nights, Bone defeats every fighter in his path, earning himself and Pinball thousands in cash. At the same time, he bonds with Tamara and her young adopted son Jared. After beating the undefeated Hammerman, James offers Bone a deal. The international underground fighting scene is run by a black market arms dealer named Franklin McVeigh, and James wants Bone to square off against Pretty Boy Price, the reigning champion. After telling James he will consider the offer, Bone reveals to Angela that Danny was his cell mate and friend. One day, Danny was murdered by another inmate. Angela reveals that shortly after Danny went to prison, she gave birth to a son, but lost custody of him and does not know if he is still alive. Bone promises to bring her to her son, but he sends her to a drug rehab clinic until she is ready.
The next morning, James offers McVeigh US$5 million to approve and schedule a fight between Bone and Price. James orders Bone to fight, or else Angela, Tamara, Jared, and Pinball will be killed. Bone secretly records James' revelation that he had Danny set up and murdered, which he transmits to Pinball's cell phone; Pinball then sends the video to the authorities. Bone faces Price, but taps out at the last second. James grabs his katana and attacks Bone, but Bone is thrown a jian by McVeigh's bodyguard O'Hara to even the odds. Bone beats James with the sheath instead. He runs off before the police arrive to arrest James.
The next day, Angela is reunited with her long lost son. Before getting on his way, Bone leaves Tamara an envelope full of cash and asks her to take Angela in once she is rehabilitated. He also parts ways with Pinball, saying he has business to take care of.
