Connor Cordova was just another ordinary high school student -- up until a few weeks ago, that is, when he managed to land his dream date for prom, Maxim model Arianny Celeste.

How did Connor convince the foxy older babe to accompany him to a high school prom? The old fashioned way: sick dancing, an incredible mullet, appeals from mixed martial artists, and, most importantly, the power of YouTube.

To accomplish his goal, Connor launched a borderline-stalkerish video assault on the UFC vixen, pleading with her in a YouTube campaign that will, when all is said and done, certainly prove to be one of the internet's most epic. Arianny, understandably, couldn't turn down Connor's impassioned entreaties.

The whole thing, frankly, strikes us as a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle superficial, but the videos are funny and the kid seems sweet enough. We'll give it to him. After the break, check out Connor's epic YouTube campaign and Arianny's gracious response.

Here's Connor's initial video:



Sick dancing, no? (no...just adorable dancing) Arianny didn't respond, so he had to up his game. What says everlasting love quite like a sort of embarrassing and sort of awesome hair cut?


Unfortunately, that didn't do the trick either. Maybe he was coming off a tad creepy? The only way to go from there was clearly to create an elaborate news program parody and lampoon the entire endeavor while still begging Arianny to be his prom date.


Did it work? You'd better believe it. Arianny did have one condition, though...Connor had to find a date for her friend. He was happy to oblige. Connor, good guy that he is, turned it into a contest on the MMA blog that he runs.


Connor eventually picked his buddy Tyler and prom with Arianny Celeste was a go. Need proof?


Okay, so it might not be love, but it is kind of a cool story. Does Connor have any take-aways from the whole experience? "I think shame is overrated," the precocious teen said in a recent interview. Amen to that one, Connor.
