UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey will take a break from knocking people out to go to a marine ball on Dec. 11 -- but there are some strings attached.
Jarrod Haschert posted a video that went viral last week that portrayed him politely asking the UFC fighter to accompany him to the Marine Corps ball and Rousey is all-in, going as far as to call him "cute."

"Yeah, I'll totally go," Rousey told TMZ, "but, I don't know how to hit him up."
Rousey was reassured that Haschert would be tracked down, but she threw a caveat into the deal - her friends also want an invite.

"Do you want me to try to get you guys dates?" Rousey asked her friends. "He needs to find dates for my girls and then we'll all go."
Haschert, 22, has had his video viewed by over four million people on Facebook. The marine is stationed out of Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and he had kind words for the 12-0 Rousey in the post.
"I love everything you do, and I think that you are a phenomenal person," Haschert said in the video, "which is why it would be my honor to take you to the Marine Corps Ball on December 11."
The marine was concerned that Rousey's training for her upcoming fight with Holly Holm would get in the way as it was originally scheduled for Jan. 2, but it was moved to Nov. 14 in Australia.
Now, "Rowdy" can attend the ball, a prospect that excites the intimidating fighter.
"I can totally go for sure," Rousey said, adding that "he's gotta be a gentleman" and that she's "not a first date kind of a girl."
If Haschert had any doubts that this would come to fruition, Rousey quashed them when she was asked repeatedly if she's definitely into going.
"It is a yes," she said.
