A local heavyweight will get his chance at the big show on May 13, as Dallas prospect Rashad Coulter has been added to UFC 211 as a short-notice replacement for Dmitry Poberezhets in a preliminary card bout against Chase Sherman. Dallas outlet SportsDay first reported the switch on Tuesday.
Coulter (8-1) is a 35-year-old heavyweight who now makes his UFC debut on less than two weeks’ notice in his hometown. Nicknamed “Daywalker,” Coulter has won all eight of his victories via KO/TKO and rides a five-fight winning streak into the bout, highlighted by a 38-second knockout of Larry Hopkins at LFA 1 in January.
