Ronda Rousey is hybrid of immense toughness and untouchable beauty, making her like a walking Greek Goddess among mere mortals.
One mortal, though, has dared to take UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion for one special night.
That man is Jarrod Haschert, who is a member of the United States Marine Corps.
Haschert posted a video of him asking Rousey out to the US Marine Corps Ball on December 11 and lucky for him, Rousey is free on the day after her next fight got moved to November from January.
“I want to go for sure,” Rousey told TMZ. “He’s cute, he’s gotta be a gentleman. I’m not a first date kind of girl.”
“I’d totally go.”
Haschert said in his video Rousey would be making his dream come true if she comes with him to the ball.
“You are my celebrity crush, I love everything you do and I think you are a phenomenal person which is why it would be my honor to take you to the Marine Corps Ball,” Haschert said in the video.
Rousey, however, gave a condition for the potential Mr. Date of the Night.
“He needs to find a date for my girls,” Rousey told TMZ as she pointed to the other members of her group, Four Horsewomen.
“I’n not gonna try to make any moves, its all about being a Marine and being a gentleman,” Haschert told TMZ in a separate interview. “Just having her there is amazing enough, I don’t wanna try to make it out to be something that its not.” CFC
