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...

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...

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
