You know the Marine who asked Ronda Rousey to the Marine's Ball? His name's Jarrod Haschert.

Seems easy enough.  You accept a dare from your friends, let them make fun of you for asking Ronda Rousey out on the Internet, and then forget about it. The man is a Marine. I'm sure he can handle some ribbing from his buddies. Not so sure he can handle a rib-shot from Rousey, but we'd place the betting lines at 5:1 odds.

What you don't expect is for TMZ to play your wingman. You probably especially don't expect this...

"I saw screen captures of it and couldn't go because I was going to be in camp, but the fight got moved so I actually can go. But I don't know how to hit him up and say, 'Yeah, I wanna go with you.' Do I call him? Do I set up a time and place like (the movie) 'Never Been Kissed' and just show up and have him waiting there until the clock runs out and be like, 'I'm here?'"

TMZ said they're going to take care of it for her. Kind of like eHarmony but for really, mega, bad-asses. Just, before the Marine gets any smart ideas...

"He's gotta be a gentleman. I'm not a first date kind of a girl."

Good for Ronda Rousey. Not many celebrities would care enough to respond to anyone, let alone someone who has fought for and defended our freedoms. I mean, they're celebrities.  You've seen celebrities, right? Seems like Rousey's is a lot more patriotic than that.

Final thought: if this really works out, those babies would be animals. Born to a marine, and the most dominant female fighter in history... I think their lunch-money's safe.
