Meaningful Echo: "I am the most complete fighter in the world.". Magnificent Bastard: Gaga may present himself a Smug Snake, but the way he manipulated the tournament in his favor was quite impressive. Lightning Bruiser: Dolor is not only the biggest of the competitors. Kick the Dog: The fighters in the losing side are summarily executed by the prison guard. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Although Gaga is presented as a Smug Snake, he stays loyal to Boyka despite all appearances and ends up saving the day. This might veer into Genius Bonus territory if one's at least somewhat aware of interactions between Capoeira and BJJ throughout history (hint: they were less than amicable). Boyka submits Brazilian fighter Andriago with a triangle choke, a move popular in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. However, he does sell it when his knee is hit. Informed Flaw: Boyka is supposed to have a painful knee injury, but he doesn't actually seem to suffer from it aside from grimacing occasionally during his bouts, and his fighting style is even more acrobatic than in the former film. Korean fighter Lam Chai tries some kicking combinations against Dolor, and Andriago also chains spinning kicks from the ground in his match with Boyka. Hurricane Kick: The film showcases the best styles at this, Taekwondo and Capoeira. Later, Dolor gets his leg broken in one of his own kicks. Hoist by His Own Petard: Lam Chai tries a flying armbar on Quiñones, but as he is too beaten down, he loses his grip and Dolor simply throws him to the ground. Sadly, this is never used again and Turbo spends the rest of the film throwing haymakers. Once he has taken a number of unnecessary hits, he employs a peek-a-boo stance and a remarkably precise counter-offence of elbow strikes to his opponent's fists and head. Also Turbo, who after being too careless in his first match distinctly switches tactics. (In a psychological sense, Andriago also shows a hidden side when finishing his first opponent, as he goes apeshit with unorthodox two-fisted punishment as soon as he doesn't need his elegant capoeira anymore.) Although Andriago or Lam at first seem to be limited to their capoeira and taekwondo specialties, they demonstrate some rounded MMA skills as well, as Andriago finishes a fight with ground and pound and both of them try armbars against their opponents.

An injured Boyka defeats Sykov so easily that one cannot help but wonder what would have happened to the latter had he entered the tournament.This might be a reference to the quasi-mythical real life martial art of Jailhouse Rock, which supposedly keeps a very close-knit guard and makes heavy use of countering incoming strikes with elbows.
