Undisputed 5 may attract many great martial arts stars to bring Yuri Boyka back to the ring. The Undisputed franchise first introduced Yuri Boyka (Scott Adkins) in Isaac Florentin’s Undisputed 2: Last Man Standing, where the very formidable MMA fighter Boyka is determined to prove himself worthy of the title of “World’s Most Perfect Fighter”.
While Scott Adkins says there’s a script for The Undisputed 5, the next chapter in the Undisputed series has yet to kick off. While Undisputed 5 is bringing back Michael Jai White, Marco Zaror and other past stars of the series, there are also plenty of other martial arts stars that could lift Undisputed 5 just as strong. Here are eight martial arts stars that would be great additions to Undisputed 5.
1. Tony Jaa:
Tony Jaa took the world by storm with his 2003 action film Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior. Jaa would impress even more in Ong Bak 2: The Beginning and Ong Bak 3 along with Tom Yam Gung films, and eventually bring his amazing physical abilities to Hong Kong and Hollywood with films like SPL 2: Time consequences” and “Leather trade”. a rematch between Tony Jaa and Scott Adkins would be a great way to build an Undisputed 5 ensemble.
2. Alain Moussi
Stuntman Alain Moussy brought his Van Damme-worthy kicks to the modern 2020 Kickboxer and Jiu-Jitsu franchise and even brought Charlie Nash to life in the 2016 web series Street Fighter: Resurrection. Moussi is an amazingly versatile martial artist, able to perform all the incredible kicking and wrestling moves that an opponent fighting Boyka would need. Moussi’s sharp features and talent for a villainous smirk would also make him a perfect fit for one of Boyka’s next major villains and the enemy.
3. Iko Uwais
Iko Uwais rose to fame in martial arts films with his roles in 2012’s Raid: Redemption and 2014’s Raid 2 (both directed by Merantau director Gareth Evans). Since then, Uwais has become one of the leading representatives of the silat in contemporary action films with hits such as “Beyond the Horizon”, “Night Comes to Us” and “Triple Threat”. The fight scene between Uwais and Adkins in Triple Threat also makes Uwais and Adkins’ rematch perfect for Undisputed.
4. Bruce Khan
Rising South Korean star Bruce Khan is living proof that his fighting skills are properly impressive, and Khan accomplishes this feat in spades in his 2019 Netflix film The Avenger. Hana’s Taekwondo is a miracle of control, speed and strength, qualities that he also brought to his role in the 2022 South Korean action movie “Killer”. His absolute martial arts skills make him an ideal fit for the Undisputed Martial Arts franchise. Khan is more than capable of embodying the enemy, who can really keep Boika in tension.
