Every Scott Adkins Vs Michael Jai White Fight Scene

Scott Adkins and Michael Jai White are two of the most revered martial artists in modern action films since both joined the Undisputed franchise, and they’ve been in some incredible fight scenes together. A Scott Adkins Vs Michael Jai White fight scene is guaranteed to impress action fans. White first rose to fame with his portrayal of Al Simmons in the 1997 superhero movie Spawn, and would later showcase his talents as a martial artist in movies like Blood and Bone, Black Dynamite and the Never Back Down series. Adkins has also starred in martial arts flicks like the Debt Collector films, the Isaac Florentine-directed Ninja movies and countless others.

Both Adkins and White were part of the 2019 martial arts ensemble Triple Threat, which also starred Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Tiger Chen, Jeeja Yanin, and MMA fighter Michael Bisping. However, there was no Scott Adkins vs Michael Jai White fight as they were on the same side as two of the film’s villains, Collins and Devereaux. Powered by so many action heroes, Triple Threat wasn’t remotely short on action, with the monumental finale seeing White battling Uwais and Adkins himself taking on both Uwais and Jaa.

Elsewhere in their filmographies, Scott Adkins and Michael Jai White have been opponents rather than allies. It goes without saying that with both of them being such incredible martial artists, their battles with each other have been absolutely outstanding. Here’s every Scott Adkins vs Michael Jai White action scene to date.

Undisputed 2: Last Man Standing (2006)

Adkins and White were first seen onscreen together in Undisputed 2: Last Mand Standing, the straight-to-video sequel to 2002’s Undisputed that really got the series rolling with Adkins’ portrayal Russian MMA fighter Yuri Boyka. White stepped into the role of American boxer George “Iceman” Chambers, previously played by Ving Rhames in Undisputed, with Chambers coming to realize the need to adapt to Boyka’s very versatile fighting style. Chambers and Boyka fight in the ring twice in the movie, and it’s a sight to behold to see martial artists at their level going head-to-head, especially with White tailoring his skills to embody a boxer who picks up elements of MMA to level the playing field.

Métal Hurlant Chronicles (2012)

The next Scott Adkins vs Michael Jai White bout came with the first episode of the European sci-fi TV series Métal Hurlant Chronicles, portraying combatants in a tournament to decide the heir to a throne of a kingdom ruled over by machines. Fellow martial arts stars Matt Mullins and the late Darren Shahlavi also appear in this episode, with Larnell Stovall of the DC streaming series Titans handling the fight choreography. The action scenes in Métal Hurlant Chronicles incorporated swordplay into the punching and kicking of the leads and gave a distinctly more medieval feel to the combat, and a different flavor to their Undisputed 2 fights.

Accident Man (2018)

2018’s Accident Man would bring Adkins and White together once more in a black comedy of underworld assassins. After the pregnant ex-girlfriend of Adkins’ Mike Fallon is murdered, he sets out for revenge. When he realizes his fellow assassins Mick and Mack, played by White and Ray Park, know more than they’re letting on about the hit, he confronts them in the movie’s gym fight. This is the highlight action scene of Accident Man that fully utilizes the trio’s skills as martial artists, and the movie’s comedic tone into play, too, marking another great, and very different, showdown between Scott Adkins and Michael Jai White, with Darth Maul himself joining in.
