Officials have promised a stacked lineup for the debut UFC on FOX Sports 1 event, though the August show still could use a big-name headliner. However, one notable fighter recently offered his services.

While hosting this past weekend’s UFC on FX 8 coverage on FUEL TV with fellow fighter Chael Sonnen, UFC heavyweight (and potential light heavyweight) Daniel Cormier said he wants a spot on the card, UFC on FOX Sports 1 1.

“I want to fight on the first card on FOX Sports 1 in Boston on Aug. 17, and I hope my man Chael Sonnen is fighting Wanderlei Silva next to me,” he said. “Put us on the card, boss.”

The event takes place at Boston’s TD Garden, and the soon-to-launch FOX Sports 1 channel is expected to carry the main card and most of the prelims. Previously announced bouts include welterweights Thiago Alves (19-9 MMA, 11-6 UFC) vs. Matt Brown (17-11 MMA, 10-5 UFC), as well as lightweights Joe Lauzon (22-8 MMA, 9-5 UFC) vs. Michael Johnson (12-8 MMA, 4-4 UFC).

Cormier (12-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC), a former Strikeforce standout who recently made a successful UFC debut with a win over Frank Mir at UFC on FOX 7, hasn’t decided if he’ll stay at heavyweight or make a long-discussed cut to light heavyweight. However, the Olympic wrestler looked noticeably slimmer during his FUEL TV spot. Additionally, UFC President Dana White has given the fighter an added incentive by suggesting Cormier could get an immediate title shot at light heavyweight.

Regardless, the addition of Cormier would added some solid star power to FOX Sports 1, which will become the new home for UFC events that currently air on FX and FUEL TV. The latter will be eliminated (with the SPEED channel) when FOX Sports 1 and FOX Sports 2 launch this summer.
