If I have a face down copy of Temur War Shaman, and pay six mana to turn it face up, will it then fight?

CR 707.11 seems to imply that it should, but I wanted to make sure before answering my friend's question. I figured it would have shown up in the release notes, but no such luck.

707.11: “If a face-down permanent would have an ”As is turned face up…“ ability after it's turned face up, that ability is applied while that permanent is being turned face up, not afterward.”

Yes, the Shaman will see itself turning face up (remember, we check for triggers after the event, not before. See the beginning of 603.6d), so its ability will trigger and the Shaman can fight something.
