Look for former UFC® Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia and four other UFC fighters as they appear as special guests on the popular television show Blind Date during sweeps week of Nov.15-19.
Sylvia, and UFC fighters Tiki Ghosn, Pete Spratt, Wes Sims and Josh Thomson each will be featured on a blind date with a woman they have never met.
Monday, Nov. 15, Pete Spratt and Andreina
Pete's an Ultimate Fighter who has put his bad boy days behind him. Andreina's an independent girl who doesn't fall for cheesy lines. Will these two strong personalities knock each other out, or will they be an equal match for one another?
Tuesday, Nov. 16, Josh Thomson and Denise
Denise wants a guy who is as masculine as she is petite. Josh is an Ultimate Fighter with more experience in the ring than with the opposite sex. Will Josh's old-fashioned attitudes appeal to Denise, or is his game of hard-to-get going to make him hard to want?
Wednesday, Nov. 17, Tiki Ghosn and Rebecca
Tiki's an Ultimate Fighter who likes a girl to carry herself like a lady. Rebecca's a part-time model who works at a Hooters Restaurant. Is she hiding a deep reserve of feminine mystique, or do her short skirts and belly shirts reveal all there is to know?
Thursday, Nov. 18, Tim Sylvia and Jennifer
Tim's the Ultimate Fighting Champion who wants a girl who can hold her own with the guys. Jennifer's got a weakness for bad boys, and claims she can drink anyone under the table. Will Tim's affinity for girlie drinks be a turn-off for the Irish girl or is his strength of character enough to carry her interest?
Friday, Nov. 19, Wes Sims and Erika
Erika works in a sex shop, and likes spending time with guys who enjoy strip clubs. Is Wes an Ultimate Fighter with more brawn than brain? Will he be able to keep his foot out of his mouth when he finds out that Erika's a former stripper, or will the girl from the wrong side of tracks have to teach her date some manners?

The Wes Simms one should be interesting....

The Wes Simms one should be interesting....
hahaha. i was gonna say the same thing.

.... and Tim Sylvia's; he looks like Cro-magnon man. That will be a true test of the girl's character if she can go on with the date despite his hideous visage!

Maybe he'll win her over with his big ... belt!(I think he still had it when they filmed this)

Tim Sylvias is tonite, I caught Pete Spratt and Tiki's episodes. Spratt was pimpin and got a kiss. Tiki took his ***** too a wax museam, they where standing next too the Evander Holyfield statue and Tiki says "He wouldnt last 5 min in the UFC.", the chick asked him if Holyfield would ko him and he said "I dont know, but he wouldnt last long against the top heavy's. He later told her she was a slut, not in those words and he is too busy training to date a party girl......

IMO, those guys were on their best behavior because Dana White told them to act like gentlemen. As far as Tiki is concerned:

"It was the cut!"

The Wes Simms one should be interesting....
Anyone see this one?

I saw Josh Thompson - He acted way too nice

I saw Josh Thompson - He acted way too nice
Even though he may be a nice guy in real life I'm starting to believe they're operating under some type of "marching orders" like someone else already said.

I mean, what're the odds?

the chick asked him if Holyfield would ko him and he said "I dont know...


:ugh:

Anyone see this one?

I seen the Sims one, he's a tard. He showed up wearing a pink girls ufc tanktop, he basically ended up callin the girl a hooker cuz she used to strip and works in a sex shop. He was an ass. She was kinda hot too...

i bet they all are freak shows

:ugh:
Haahahahahahahaa, yeah no ****. That would be one way Holy could get back in the win column!

I seen the Sims one, he's a tard. He showed up wearing a pink girls ufc tanktop, he basically ended up callin the girl a hooker cuz she used to strip and works in a sex shop. He was an ass. She was kinda hot too...
Seriously, not bashing. I think he may be ghey. Just the way he acts, like ***** holds no attraction for him or something. Maybe my ghey-dar's out of whack.
