6. Never Back Down (2008)

Directed by Jeff Wadlow in 2008, Never Back Down follows rebellious teen, Jake Tyler (Sean Faris), as he moves to a new school and quickly lands in trouble with local MMA hotshot, Ryan McCarthy (Cam Gigandet). After getting humiliated in a fight, Jake trains under the wise but tough Jean Roqua (Djimon Hounsou) to master mixed martial arts. With a budget of $20 million, this high-energy flick blends teen drama, intense fight scenes, and plenty of adrenaline-fueled action. Think of this as The Karate Kid but with way more punches.
