Marine Attracts the Attention of Millions After Asking Ronda Rousey to a Ball

Jarrod Haschert has attracted the attention of millions in seeking out the attention of just one woman—Ronda Rousey.

The 22-year-old Marine, stationed out of Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, asked the reigning UFC women's bantamweight champion to be his date to a ball via a Facebook video, which has garnered nearly 3.5 million views as of Thursday night.

Update from Friday, December 11

Even though Rousey has gone rogue since her loss to Holly Holm, she will still be going to the Marine ball she promised to attend this summer, per TMZ Sports.

Good job, Ronda.

Update from Tuesday, September 1

Here's Rousey's response, per TMZ Sports (via USA Today's For The Win):

"

I would go for sure. Do I call him? Or do I set up a time and place like Never Been Kissed and wait there until the clock runs out and be like "I'm here!" ...

He's cute. He's gotta be a gentleman, though, I'm not a first date kind of girl. But, I dunno, we'll see when I meet him.

"

Rousey's fight against Holly Holm was originally scheduled for UFC 195 on Jan. 2, but now that it is part of UFC 193 on Nov. 14, she will be able to make the ball. And this is why it never hurts to ask.

"I love everything you do, and I think that you are a phenomenal person," Haschert said of Rousey, referring to her as his celebrity crush.

He was even considerate of how the December 11 date might conflict with training for her upcoming UFC 195 fight against Holly Holm on January 2 in Las Vegas.

Pretty cute, right?
