Need Help Finding This Obscure 80s or 90s Underground Fight To The Death Movie

Hey Everyone

I'm wondering if you all could help me find a movie from back in the day... I have been trying to find this movie for years since I was a kid it’s killing me I watched it when I was young on TV, I don’t think it had big actors in it but it was like this mortal kombat cross bloodsport type of movie and it was like an underground tournament fight syndicate like a fight club it’s set in the late 80s or mid 90s. From memory an old guy with whitish grey hair I think is the leader/owner and he would mainly wear suits and all the fighters fight to the death with weapons or barefists. Originally I thought it was American Samurai was what I thought it was however, it's not that nor shootfighter or blood match. I do remember one scene where once the fighter was dead they get thrown down a drain... or some sort of manhole in the pit. Some of the fighters use weapons. Another scene was the old owner getting oral sex from a female in a limo. I am 95% sure to from memory the main villain was a asian or white guy with long black hair and a big dude with a fu man chu facial hair. The movie was very gritty and violent and im pretty sure there was a gong that would sound off between fights. Oh man it was such a good fight movie, I would appreciate any help or anyone who knows the name of it! I've tried so many different searches and looked at so many movie titles but I just can't find it! Would love the help!

Thank you guys.

I know this movie! It’s dark and most scenes are sort of tinted blue/like underground/foggy. I think there was a pair of fighters that may have been brothers. One (brown hair) gets decapitated and the other (blonde) avenges him through the tournament. I’m hoping it’s the same movie because I’ve been hunting for it as well. Probably 1999 Cinemax.

Got it. 
Firepower from 1993.

Whole movie is on YouTube. Just watched the decapitation scene for the first time in 30 years.

I've been looking for a movie it sounds similar to this, is there a part in the movie where his house gets destroyed, and the final death he breaks his back by doing some kinda Jesus on the cross pose while holding his arms in the same pose?

@Eythyn_93 having some more thoughts, could it be possible that it may be a conflation of two different movies from your memory - that happened to me many times. For example, in the original Pet Semetary there is a scene about a boy from the war who was planted there and he came back to life like the cat and such...I always confused that with the weird scene in Wild at Heart where Crispin Glover played this guy who was in the kitchen making tons of sandwiches and acting crazy. Anyway - if American Samurai has the guy with the blades in the hair like you mention, then that film is likely ONE PART of the puzzle of more than one film you recall seeing that maybe got mushed together? -Perhaps the thing you saw was a mashup of Kung-Fu B Movies that was shown late night, or perhaps you saw the scene in question, went off and did something or maybe fell asleep and when you got back to the movie it was another movie with the sand pit/tournament part. I believe 100% you saw this but wondering if we have a mashup rather than a crystal clear memory.
