| 2 | * TheCastShowOff: Malia, one of Scott's students, sings with the school Orchestra just before his [[UsefulNotes/UltimateFightingChampionship UFC]] fight... which makes sense, as she is played by singer/songwriter [[Series/{{Glee}} Charice.]] |
| 3 | * CastTheExpert: |
| 4 | ** Various UFC figures portray themselves, and [[MentorArchetype Niko]] and [[FinalBoss Ken Dietrich]] are portrayed by mixed martial artists Creator/BasRutten and Krzysztof Soszyński. |
| 5 | ** On a minor note, Kevin James is an MMA fan and trains it for fun. UFC commentator Creator/JoeRogan and Bas Rutten both praised him as a legitimately skilled martial artist. |
| 6 | * DuelingWorks: With ''Film/{{Warrior}}'', a 2011 film also about a former athlete turned teacher who turns to MMA to secure money (although in that case it was to save his home from foreclosure). Unlike ''Boom'', ''Warrior'' was a drama that was critically acclaimed for its performances, earning Creator/NickNolte an Oscar nomination, while ''Boom''...wasn't. |
| 7 | * ProductPlacement: The film is basically ''Film/TheWizard'' for the UFC. |
