UFC president Dana White has teamed up with co-producer Tom Lynch and director Walter Hill ("Broken Trail") for a two-hour pilot that centers around a Boston mob boss who leaves his position and the ensuing fight for control of the streets that occurs between rival mob factions. "I know who I'm catering to, and that's 18- to 34-year-old males who are the ones watching Spike TV," said White, who lived in Boston for 10 years. "We're going to push the limits on this show, like 'Nip/Tuck' and 'The Shield' -- violence, sex, bad language."

White is sure to use his own experience with the Fertitta's and their mob associates as inspiration.
i agree with you lenny_v. also, who cares about dana white? if it's good we'll watch. if it's bad, just like this season of the ultimate fighter -- we will turn the channel.
