The eight finalists were a mixture of invitees or had been involved in the 1995 tournament (for more information on these finalists, see the bulleted list below).
As well as competition bouts there were also five 'Super Fights', three fought under Shoot Boxing Rules (various weight classes), two fought under MMA Rules, and a 'Special Fight' fought under Kyokushin Karate Rules (75kg/165lbs weight class). In total there were twenty fighters at the event, representing eleven countries.
