Bisping vs Shamrock and not Bisping vs Hamill?

Sounds like a sick joke here. From UFC Mania:

Michael Bisping will face Ken Shamrock (26-12-2) — not Matt Hamill as previously reported — at UFC 75 on September 8 in London, England, according to Loretta Hunt at FightNetwork.com.

Although nothing is absolutely confirmed here other than saying that Shamrock (UFC 7 - 2 -6) *could* come out of retirement and fight, ha ha, "superstar" Michael Bisping (UFC 3 - 0).

Ken Shamrock could possibly come out of retirement to face British superstar Michael Bisping at UFC 75. Shamrock, who retired following his TKO loss to Tito Ortiz in October, coached against Bisping (13-0, 3-0 UFC) on season three of “The Ultimate Fighter.”
How low would Shamrock be willing to come out of retirement after that Ortiz fiasco and gotten a brutal beating yet fight a relative newcomer at another UFC event instead?? And not Matt Hamill (UFC 3 - 0)? I don't think coming out of retirement to fight Michael Bisping is even worth the effort, much less to the embarrassment of Shamrock should he even think that.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what the Ticketmaster has to say as a final confirmation.

Bisping vs Shamrock?

Oh, please.


UPDATE: Go here and see the latest news to see why the fight is still on between Bisping and Hamill.

UPDATE II: Shamrock coming out of retirement to fight Baroni, and not Bisping. Perhaps that's the confusion? Since Baroni has a lot more UFC fight experience than Bisping, it'd be more in line to fight Baroni than Bisping. But still, why come out of retirement in the first place for the June 22 fight? The money's good or what?
