During the opening statement about the Openweight Tournament, K-1 Executive Producer Takumi Nakamura said that K’Festa 5 will take place in Yoyogi part of Tokyo, where the first-ever K-1 event was held in 1993. Back then there was only one weight class, so fighters fought each other despite weight differences.
