Plot
The film takes place several months after the events of the previous film. Martial artist Yuri Boyka is now a free man and has a manager named Kiril. He still fights in underground matches in Kiev, Ukraine. In a match, Yuri accidentally kills his opponent Viktor. He begins to regret this and thinks about what he is fighting for. He later discovers Viktor has a wife named Alma. Yuri tells Kiril to make a fake passport and goes to Russia to meet Alma.
In a town in Russia, Yuri finds out that Alma owes money to a crime boss named Zourab. Alma lives in a community center and she serves as a waitress in Zourab's underground fighting club. Zourab is now searching for a good martial artist to fight in his club. Yuri wants to help Alma pay her debt so he makes a deal with Zourab that he will fight for him in exchange for Alma's freedom. Zourab agrees and suggests Yuri to fight in three matches.
Alma invites Yuri to the training room in the community center for his training. Yuri easily defeats his opponent in the first match. He then must fight two brothers in the second match and defeats them by double knock out. In the community center, Yuri asks Alma why she does not leave the town. She replies she cannot leave the children, and without this center the children could become gangsters or bad guys.
In the third match, Yuri defeats Igor Kazmir, the elite henchman of Zourab. Yuri is about to leave, but Zourab forces Yuri to fight one more match to defeat his true champion, Yuri reluctantly agrees. Zourab bribes a high-ranking police officer to bring Koshmar to his club. Koshmar is a giant, furious and relentless martial artist. Zourab thinks Yuri cannot defeat Koshmar.
Because Koshmar has a large and strong body, at first Yuri cannot hurt him. After some intense moments, Yuri breaks one arm and one leg of Koshmar and finally kicks him out of the ring, knocking him unconscious. An angered Zourab takes Alma as a hostage and orders his henchmen to kill Yuri. However, Yuri kills all of Zourab's henchmen and chases after him. Yuri gets shot in his stomach, but he grabs Zourab, punches him in his face and chokes him to death. An injured Yuri asks Alma if she can forgive him for what he did to her husband and is arrested by the police shortly after.
Six months later, Alma visits Yuri in prison. She tells him she finally forgives him and he thanks her. Yuri continues fighting in the prison to pursue the title of most complete martial artist in the world.
