Ronda Rousey is a woman of her word.
The mixed martial arts star made good on a promise to attend the Marine Corps Ball with Lance Cpl. Jarrod Haschert, who invited her in a video that went viral.
Rousey has stayed out of the spotlight since her shocking defeat last month in an Ultimate Fighting Championship bout with Holly Holm.
“Honestly, I’d probably stay on my couch, crying and eating ice cream for like another month if he hadn’t asked me,” she told TMZ before she flew to South Carolina.
“I promised I would go” she said. “It’s an honor to be asked.”
From the looks of it, she had a good time.
