Urijah Faber tells an interesting story about how the UFC tried to get Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz to film an episode of Blind Date back in 2006, and punished him for not doing it:

"I remember Diaz telling me years ago how they punished him for not going on that dating show they were having a couple of fighters go on. They would go on this dating show, [the UFC] wanted him on there for publicity. Nick had a girlfriend at the time and he wouldn’t do it," Faber told ESPN Radio.

"They put him and I think Karo on the undercard, somebody vs. Nick Diaz was on the undercard. He’s got a chip on his shoulder when it comes to those guys sometimes. They’re trying to help him and he’s trying to help himself… I wish the best for Nick, I think they’ll make it work out."
