Michael Bisping vs Ken Shamrock at UFC 75


Recommended Posts

The Ultimate Fighter 3 light heavyweight winner Michael Bisping (13-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) will fight UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock (26-12-2 MMA, 7-6-2 UFC) — not Matt Hamill — at UFC 75 in London, England on Sept. 8.

That’s the report from The Fight Network.

Bisping was originally expected to face his former castmate Matt Hamill. Ticketmaster released an event description last week that included the matchup. Instead, though, Loretta Hunt says that Shamrock will come out of retirement to face Bipsing at the event, which takes place at the 02 Arena.

After topping Josh Haynes in The Ultimate Fighter 3 Finale, Bisping defeated Eric Schafer with a first-round TKO at UFC 66. Then, in front of a Manchester crowd at April’s UFC 70 event, he scored a second-round TKO of Elvis Sinosic.

Shamrock has been fighting professionally for nearly 14 years and competed in the very first UFC event. The submission specialist left the UFC for six years but ultimately returned to fight Tito Ortiz and then to coach a team on The Ultimate Fighter 3 last year opposite Ortiz. Shamrock’s 1-4 in the Octagon since his return, with three of the losses coming to Ortiz.

Bisping appeared on Ortiz’s — not Shamrock’s — team on The Ultimate Fighter 3.

Although the UFC has confirmed that Bisping will appear on the UFC 75 card, the organization has made no official announcement regardin:Dhis opponent.

Awesome :D

Are you kidding me? You are looking forward to Ken Shamrock getting face pounded by Bisping? It's not even confirmed yet, and Shamrock is only in negotiations to come back to the UFC.

Hamill was a much better fight. Superior ground game vs. Standup, I'd rather see that. Shamrock has been man-handled the same way in 6 outta the last 7 fights, on the ground. Bisping will throw him down and pound. I will say this, Shamrock has a better chance than most guys. He's a big strong guy, who can end the fight with one swing. So maybe it will be exciting. I just think Hamill-Bisping would have been better.

I think it will be awesome taking on someone with alot of big time experience thats what I meant...yeah Bisping is gonna be fitter and probably smack Ken around but who knows Ken might pull some old tricks out of the bag...

Yes, it is probably enevitable that Shamrock will get owned (remember Franklin?) But it'll be good to see Bisping put up against someone who's not unknown! :p

And yeah, like Rappy said, albeit it's unlikely, you never know what Shamrock can pull outta the bag. It only takes 1 punch...

Or a kick if your cropcop...:laugh:

I am suprised lately tho with how quick the fights end in UFC...

Well it seems it was just a rumour...

Regarding rumors regarding the next UFC in London, England, Michael Bisping vs. Matt Hamill is still the scheduled match on that show. There are rumors regarding Bisping vs. Ken Shamrock, but that may have been discussed but it is not the current plan.
It isn't happening, Fight Network broke the story, and then everyone else picked it up, but the main story was that Shamrock is negotiating a contract, so I don't know who the hell he is going to fight, but it won't be at UFC 75.

He should stay retired imo...no offence to him he was great but now he can't cut it...

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
