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 killed his opponent Viktor. He begins to regret and think about what he was fighting for. He later discovered Viktor has a wife named Alma. Yuri tells Kiril to make a fake passport so he goes to Russia to meet Alma.
In a town in Russia, Yuri knows Alma owed money to a crime boss named Zourab. Alma lives in a community center and she served 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. Yuri make a deal with Zourab that he will fight for him, 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 the two brothers in the second match, also 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.

However, Yuri kills all of Zourab's henchmen and chases after him. Yuri gets shot in his stomach, but he grabbed Zourab, punch in his face and choke him to death. Injured Yuri asks Alma if she can forgive him for what he did to her husband. Yuri was arrested by the police shortly after.
