At the end of Jewels 15th Ring, it was announced that Jewels 16th Ring would hold the first round of the Jewels Featherweight Queen Grand Prix; a tournament that will crown the first featherweight queen (champion) of the promotion. Naho Sugiyama, Yasuko Tamada, Misaki Takimoto, Sachiko Yamamoto, Kikuyo Ishikawa, Yukiko Seki, Miyoko Kusaka and Ayumi Saito were revealed as the participants in the tournament.[2][3]

Five days later on August 22, 2011, it was announced that 2010 Rough Stone GP -56 kg winner and kickboxing standout Mizuki Inoue would face Jewels Lightweight Queen Champion Ayaka Hamasaki in a non-title match.

Three more undercard amateur matches were announced a day before the event. Saya Ito vs. Ryouka and Mili Sasaki vs. Chihiro Imoto would compete as part of the Jewels Under-15 Kickboxing mini-tournament and Tamaki Usui vs. Nana Ichikawa would fight under amateur MMA rules.[10][11]

The day before the event, all fighters made weight on their first attempt during the weigh-ins.[12]
