Rapper-turned-actor Ice-T is planning a career change - he wants to try his hand at the ultra-violent art of Ultimate Fighting.

The 48-year-old star, famed for his martial arts skills, was recently spotted watching the extreme sport in Las Vegas.

And he says, "I'd like to try it but I'd have to train. I've taken martial arts all my life and I box - I'm really into jujitsu so my moves would be submissions."
