The tournament winner was Semmy Schilt who won his second consecutive K-1 World Grand Prix by defeating Peter Aerts (who was making his fourth appearance in the final) via third round unanimous decision.

The victory was sweet revenge for Schilt who had lost to Aerts earlier on in the year at the K-1 World Grand Prix 2006 in Auckland.

The event was also notable for being Ernesto Hoost's last K-1 tournament and last fight - after a career spanning twenty-three years featuring numerous titles including four K-1 World Grand Prix victories.

Hoost managed to make the semi-finals where he was defeated via third round unanimous decision by the eventual winner Schilt.
