The 127th season at historic Yonkers Raceway at Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts continues with a unique crossover event five years in the making, as former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira returns for a highly anticipated rematch against Hall of Fame harness racing driver Tim Tetrick.

Five years after surprising the harness racing world with an exhibition victory over Tetrick, Oliveira returns to the historic half-mile track for another friendly, but competitive showdown. This time, the event will be held as a Team Challenge, with Dan Dube, Yannick Gingras, and Pat Lachance joining Oliveira to compete as a team against Tetrick, Jordan Stratton, Lauren Tritton, and Jason Bartlett. Video of the first race can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecaKsENu4I8.

Prior to the race, Oliveira will host a meet-and-greet for fans at 5:15 p.m. trackside, offering a rare opportunity for both MMA and racing enthusiasts to connect with one of the sport’s most exciting figures.
