Yes, they can demand you hand it over and you will hand it over.

Do they have to pay you for it?

Even if Brad Ing bought the domain to host his personal blog?

That's insane to me.

Pretty much. It is a trademark and holders have to defend against infringements if they want to keep it.

You might win in court/arbitration if you have a legitimate reason for owning the domain, but you're going to need deep pockets to pull it off and be willing to put up with the harassment of a company that has infinity money and wants to crush you for sport.

Uzi Nissan didn't hand over his domain.

Yes, because he literally has the word Nissan as his last name.
