Ronda Rousey is probably going to be pretty busy when December rolls around. Her next fight against Holly Holmis set to take place on January 2, which means that she'll be training for it around Christmastime. But if she's not too busy, a Marine named Jarrod Haschert has invited her to attend the Marine Corps Ball with him on December 11. He posted a video on Facebook recently asking her to be his date.

"You are my celebrity crush," he said in the short clip. "Like, I love everything you do and I think you are a phenomenal person, which is why it would be my honor to take you to the Marine Corps Ball."

So far, the video has racked up more than 3.5 million views and has earned Haschert some interviews with local TV stations in North Carolina. He's obviously not the first guy to try to score a date with Rousey through the power of social media—see here and here—but it does seem like, if Rousey were to accept anyone's date request, it would be his.

Stay tuned to see if she issues some sort of response to him.
