Broken but unbowed, Ronda Rousey keeps promise to attend Marine Corps ball

Showing a champion's class.

Ronda Rousey was still the UFC bantamweight champion when he accepted a request from Lance Corporal Jarrod Haschert to be his date for a Marine Corps ball. Having emphatically lost to Holly Holm at UFC 193, Rousey would have been forgiven for crying off the event. Not so. The MMA star showed up for the ball, on Friday, and posed for pictures with Haschert, several other Marines and their dates. https://twitter.com/120Sports/status/675505128154071041 Rousey has been cleared to train again following her title loss but will not be back in action until the Holm rematch on UFC 200, next July. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal about facing Holm again, Rousey declared, ""I need to come back. I need to beat this chick. "Who knows if I'm going to pop my teeth out or break my jaw or rip my lip open. I have to f**king do it."
