Jersey Marine lands date with UFC champ Ronda Rousey

Serviceman was ecstatic after finding out the news

Well known butt-kicker Ronda Rousey, the undefeated UFC women's bantamweight titleholder, is making one U.S. serviceman's dream a reality. 

Marine Jarrod Haschert, a 22-year-old New Jersey native, according to NBC Philadelphia, published a video to his Facebook wall Thursday asking the fighter to accompany him on a date. 

In the video, which has since been published on Youtube, Haschert, who is stationed out of North Carolina, says that Rousey is his celebrity crush and invites her to join him at the Marine Core Ball in December.

"You would truly be making my dream come true," Haschert says to Rousey in the video, which has since been viewed more than 5 million times on Facebook.

Well, a TMZ paparazzo found Rousey and inquired about Haschert's request, asking if she had seen the video. 

She said she had and that she would absolutely be his date, even calling him cute. However, he would have to find dates for her three friends. 

An updated video of Haschert's reaction to her saying yes was posted to TMZ Wednesday. The Marine is naturally ecstatic.

Haschert should not only be thrilled that Rousey is going out with him, but also that he's in her good graces. After all, you certainly don't want to be on her bad side
