A viral video, posted by Marine Jarrod Haschert, has circulated because of its braveness and stand-out content - asking UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey to the Marine Corps Ball.

The 22-year-old marine's bold question has been viewed more than 5 million times, being liked and shared by fellow netizens so it can catch the champion's attention. Dressed in full marine uniform, the brave man asks his long-time crush to be his date.

Apparently, Rousey has finally seen the video and according to CNN, she has said yes, exclaiming "I would go for sure" in a video posted by TMZ.

Haschert admitted how much he admires Rousey in the video, stating that he loves everything the champion does and believes she is a phenomenal person. In between the admiration speech, Haschert broke the news, asking Rousey if she was willing to be his date for the Marine Corps Ball this coming Dec. 11.

At first, Rousey thought she couldn't go because she'll be busy training. But as the big fight got moved to November, Rousey has every reason to go, The Daily Mail UK reports. In order for the date to occur, however, Rousey has a few requests, which involves Haschert being a gentleman because she doesn't consider herself a first date kind-of-girl, even though she finds him cute.

Rousey playfully gestures to her three girlfriends at the time TMZ caught up with her, stating it would be great if some of Haschert's friends will take her friends too, so all of them will go.

As two seem to be in agreement, TIME Magazine writes that Rousey has one question - she doesn't know how to contact Haschert. "Do I call him? Or do I set up a time and place like Never Been Kissed and wait until the clock runs out and be like, 'I'm here!'" she said.

Fortunately for the two, they don't have to wait for the time to run out because the TMZ reporter promises to help them get in touch. Haschert states that he plans to be a gentleman and will not try to make any moves on Rousey.
