Ronda Rousey accepts viral-video date invitation from Marine

WASHINGTON 鈥斅燨ne Marine aimed high last month when he invited UFC champion Ronda Rousey to be his date at the Marine Ball via a Facebook video.

Well, 4 million views later, his ambition paid off: She says she 鈥渨ould go for sure.鈥

that she hadn鈥檛 been able to go with him to the December ball, due to her preparation schedule for a fight in January 2016, but since the fight has been moved up to November, she鈥檚 free.

She also says of Lance Cpl. Jarrod Haschert, 鈥淗e鈥檚 cute.鈥

Unfortunately, they don鈥檛 know how to get in touch with each other 鈥 but they鈥檝e got time to work that out.

鈥淒o I call him?,鈥 Rousey says. 鈥淥r do I set up a time and place like ‘Never Been Kissed聽and wait until the clock runs out and be like, 鈥業鈥檓 here!鈥欌

Rousey鈥檚 acceptance comes with a condition: Haschert has to find dates for the three friends Rousey was with when she agreed to the date.

She also has a warning: Haschert has 鈥済otta be a gentleman 鈥 [because] I鈥檓 not a first-date kind of girl.鈥

Haschert assures TMZ that he鈥檚 a perfect gentleman. He鈥檇 better be.
