A Marine is going to the ball with Ronda Rousey. How many times has this happened? How bad can this trend get?

I could only WISH a female would ask Mayweather to go to the same ball, another male ask Cyborg to go, and another female to ask Referee Herb Dean to the same gala. At least we can get one fight out of the way. I'll do the weigh in's if required.

As long as there are Marines with their Dress Uniform, and as long as there is a Marine Ball, and as long as there are celebrities, then this trend will continue.

I posted this before, but I don't see a problem with it really. I know many disagree and I do understand their points, but I don't think it is that big of an issue.

I think it will continue, and I think it is awesome that they go!! But I feel bad for the first one to say "no". They may be very justified, but they will get crucified by the media. I mean, just because they are Marines, it is, after all, a blind date so they have every right to politely decline.

I think it's awesome. They only thing I hate is when the celebrity can't actually go and everyone flips out and bashes them. They have lives too. Now, if I wasn't married I'd be asking Olivia Munn to the ball.(she could bring Aaron Rodgers as our chauffeur)

All I know is that if Jarrod tries to make a move on Ronda she'll put him in an arm bar!

Is it wrong that my first thought was, "Well, the chances of this ending with a SHARP violation are pretty small. Multiple fractures, maybe..."
