Plot
After returning home from South Korea, three members of the U.S. National Team set up a martial arts studio in Las Vegas. Travis Brickley has been secretly competing at "The Coliseum", a brutal underground fighting arena managed by Weldon Mardano, whose protégé Gustave Brakus is the venue's owner and undefeated champion. Ordinarily a challenger must defeat three of its "Gladiators" in order to face Brakus, but Travis challenges Brakus outright. Amused by Travis's arrogance, Weldon grants his wish.
