Seems like Ronda Rousey wants to be a consultant to bring people out of their suicidal thoughts.

The 29-year-old Mixed martial artist said that she feels like there has been an overly negative light on discussing suicidal thoughts because "it's something real people are going through," not something like a weakness that should be condemned, reports TMZ.com.

This statement came on the backdrop of the question she was asked about how people have reacted to her appearance on 'Ellen' when she admitted she thought about killing herself after the Holly Holm fight.

Acknowledging a history of suicide in her family, the UFC star said that both her parents took their lives and she believes it's important for people to not bottle up their feelings and instead reach out for help.
