HOBOKEN, N.J. (Dec. 13, 2012) -- FIGHT NOW TV -- America's only 24-hour combat sports and entertainment channel - has partnered with MSG Sports to produce a "Best of Grapple at the Garden" show based on this Sunday's (Dec. 16) inaugural college wrestling event being held at the famed Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Fourteen of the country's top NCAA Division I wrestling programs will converge on Madison Square Garden for the first-ever collegiate wrestling dual meet in The Garden's 133-year history.

The featured team match up will be between No. 2 Oklahoma State University and No. 8 Cornell. Oklahoma State has won 34 NCAA Div. I team titles in wrestling, the most of any sports team in any sport in all of NCAA athletics. Cornell has yet to capture an NCAA Div. I team title, but was second in the 2011 NCAA Championships and placed in the top four the last three seasons. Oklahoma State has won both of the two previous dual meets against Cornell in the schools' history.

"We look forward to capturing all the excitement that this event is sure to deliver," saidMike Garrow GM & co-founder of FIGHT NOW TV. "We would like to thank MSG Sports for working with us to document this event, in which, the nation's best collegiate wrestlers will get to shine in the world's most famous arena."
