THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER: TEAM ROUSEY VS. TEAM TATE EPISODE 2 ON FOX SPORTS 1 TONIGHT — The second episode of THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER, now in its 18^th season airs Wednesday, Sept. 11 (10:00 PM ET) on FOX Sports 1, as women join men for the first time ever, living and training together as they vie for “The Ultimate Fighter” title and a six-figure contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Two of the sport’s most prominent women and bitterest of rivals, Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate, are the series’ first females ever to coach and train the eight men and eight women who fought their way into the UFC house on the first episode last week.  In tonight’s episode, it’s a battle of the number one female picks when Julianna Pena of Team Tate and veteran Shayna “The Queen of Spades” Baszler of Team Rousey fight for early control in a history-making matchup.

Tate on the significance of this groundbreaking season for women:  “It puts women’s MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) on a platform it’s never been on before, and it’s going to help change misperceptions and stereotypes.  This show is very important because it’s going to help answer questions about depth in the division, and help disprove people who think only Ronda Rousey exists and there’s no one else.  We’re breaking down barriers, so this is going to help legitimize women’s MMA and solidify our future.”

THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER: TEAM ROUSEY VS. TEAM TATE airs Wednesdays at 10:00 PM ET on FOX Sports 1, where it anchors the network’s prime time UFC programming block.  For more on THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER, including episodic matchups and video, please visit http://msn.foxsports.com/watch/the-ultimate-fighter

NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES KEEPS ON TRUCKING – FOX Sports 1 offers live coverage of the final of five consecutive NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races on Friday, Sept. 13 (8:00 PM ET) at Chicagoland Speedway.  Reigning champion James Buescher, who went winless the first 11 races of the season, has momentum heading into Chicagoland after scoring his second win in four races last weekend at Iowa. In the process, Buescher cut his points deficit to leader Matt Crafton in half, jumping from fourth to second and now trailing Crafton by only 37 markers.  Crafton, however, continues his perfect record of all top-10 finishes in the 15 events contested in 2013.  Rick Allen calls the action from Chicagoland alongside analysts Phil Parsons and Michael Waltrip, with reporting by Ray Dunlap and Hermie Sadler.

NCWTS SETUP (8:30 PM ET), which precedes Friday’s Camping World Truck Series race, is hosted by Danielle Trotta with reporting by Dunlap and Sadler.  FOX Sports 1’s popular 30-minute pre-race show sets the tone with live reports from the starting grid.  Additionally, the network offers live coverage of both NCWTS practice sessions on Friday, Sept. 13 (10:00 AM ET & 12:00 PM ET) and NCWTS Qualifying (4:00 PM ET).  After a weekend off next week, the Truck Series races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 28 (8:30 PM ET), with NCWTS SETUP hitting the air at 8:00 PM ET.

FOX Sports 1’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series pre-race show is hosted by John Roberts with analysts Larry McReynolds and Kyle Petty.
