The event featured the semi-finals and final of the Jewels Featherweight Queen tournament, which determined the first featherweight (-48 kg) titleholder of the promotion. It also featured a Jewels lightweight queen championship match and the final of the Jewels Under-15 Amateur Kickboxing Tournament.

Background

At the conclusion of Jewels 16th Ring, the semi-final matchups were determined in the Jewels Featherweight Queen Grand Prix; a tournament that crowned the first featherweight queen champion of the promotion at Jewels 17th Ring. Naho Sugiyama would face Kikuyo Ishikawa in one semi-final and Misaki Takimoto would face Yukiko Seki in the other. The winners would then face each other for the championship later on the same card.[2]

On October 28, 2011 (2011-10-28), three bouts were announced for the card. Jewels lightweight queen champion Ayaka Hamasaki would defend her title in a rematch with Seo Hee Ham. Mei Yamaguchi would face Mika Nagano and Yasuko Tamada would face Sachiko Yamamoto in a Jewels Featherweight Queen GP reserve bout.[3][4]

Two more fights, Emi Fujino vs. Celine Haga and Emi Tomimatsu vs. Rina Tomita, were added to the card on November 22, 2011 (2011-11-22).[5][6]

Four more fights were announced on December 9, 2011 (2011-12-09). In professional MMA bouts, Shino VanHoose would face Asami Higa and Yuka Okumura would face Anna Saito. Miyako Mitsuhori would face Mai in a kickboxing match and Yukari Yamaguchi would face Nana Ichikawa in an amateur MMA fight.[9][10]

The final fight on the card, an amateur kickboxing match between Mili Sasaki and Fuka Saito, was announced on December 14, 2011 (2011-12-14).[11][12]

The day before the event, all fighters made weight on their first attempt during the weigh-ins.[13][14]
