Which English city hosted UFC 70 in 2007?

Manchester hosted UFC 70 in 2007.

UFC 70: Nations Collide took place on April 21, 2007, at the Manchester Evening News Arena in Manchester, England. It was the UFC’s second event in the United Kingdom and its first staged in Manchester, making the city an important early stop in the promotion’s international expansion.

The main event featured Mirko Cro Cop against Gabriel Gonzaga in a heavyweight bout that was expected to establish a contender for Randy Couture’s title. Gonzaga produced a major upset, knocking out Cro Cop with a head kick. The card also included Michael Bisping’s first UFC appearance in England and Andrei Arlovski facing Fabrício Werdum.

The city can be confused with London because London hosted other major UFC events and is England’s best-known international sports hub. UFC 70, however, was held in Manchester, while the venue’s official name at the time was the Manchester Evening News Arena.
