The UFC has reached the 18th season of its flagship reality program, The Ultimate Fighter. And, for the second time in the last four seasons, it has a new home, Fox Sports 1. It also has a new night, as the show kicked off on Wednesday, Sept. 4, following the completion of UFC Fight Night 28.

That’s not all that is new for TUF 18, as women are featured on the show for the first time. The cast is split between eight bantamweights of each gender, with each vying for a six-figure contract with the promotion. Also a first, UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and bitter rival Miesha Tate are featured as the first female coaches in the show’s history. The pair will clash on Dec. 28 for Rousey’s 135-pound strap at UFC 168 in Las Vegas.

The show debuted with a two-hour episode that featured the elimination fights to get into the house, as well as the team selection of each coach.
