The members such as trainer Ramos initially react to Case’s traditional, but unorthodox, training methods with disgust, but they start to respect Case when they witness the effectiveness of Case’s training like how he defeats Cobra, and how he could break a board with “the perfect punch” while others can’t. There is also significant character development, especially in the parts where Case interacts with many of the members of Brody’s camp. (Bellator or UFC wouldn’t have given Braga a chance) Then you’ll realize Vega is pulling the strings to make the fight between James and Braga a money-making publicity stunt, and will even turn to unethical means whenever he deems fit. For instance, you’ll, at first, be suspicious of Hugo Vega, especially when he allows Braga to fight in PFC despite his history of domestic violence and obvious use of drugs as noted by his merciless and hot-tempered demeanor. You’ll get a good amount of depth from new major characters like Brody James, Myca (Gillian White), and sleazy fight promoter Hugo Vega (Esai Morales), as well as understand their history and/or intentions. Character-wise, everyone did a good job with their role. The story to Never Back Down: No Surrender does not have a lot of twists and turns, but it is enough to keep it interesting.
