The next scene shows that in 2011, Xiang Tenghui, a former MMA fighter has been arrested for being responsible for this fight and is held for interrogation for questioning.

One day when driving along a remote road at night, Xiang's lorry is attacked by bandits who were revealed to be a gang of boys.

Xiang and Wang then round up the gang of kids who previously attacked them and made them an offer to accept joining the club in exchange for food and lodging.

It is revealed Su ad Ma have a sister who is unable to walk due to paralysis which was one of the reasons, Xiang decided.

As they were from impoverished background with nowhere to return, Xiang agrees to continue but stresses he will only teach them how to fight for stage combat.

After Xiang yells at the two to put more effort into it, the staged performance ends up becoming a real brawl which attracted all the customers attentions.

It is then revealed that Xiang was previously an MMA provincial champion but was stripped of his gold medal after his urine sample tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs).

Xiang received an offer from an established MMA club, CJ to sign contracts for Ma and Su so they could participate in the tournament.

A year later, Xiang who is now running a Silk business was told that he had received an invitation from a talk show wanting to hear his side of the story regarding his fight club but he stated he was not interested.

Two year later, Su is fighting for FGP world Lightweight championship in a 5-round bout against its reigning champion, Connor who is from Brazil.

In the film's epilogue, it is revealed that the government has allowed the club to run again and Ma who was now released from prison went back to his profession as an MMA fighter.

After his directorial debut with Buddies in India, Wang Baoqiang wanted to make another film with a more personal undertaking and spent six years working on Never Say Never.

Wang who came from a peasant background, started learning martial arts when he was six years old and had endured a long series of challenges before obtaining success.

In 2001, he established Enbo Fight Club in Chengdu which served as a martial arts school for children from poor rural areas.

Wang stated he and En Bo had many similarities such as coming from poor backgrounds and refusing to give up despite difficult circumstances.
