Bell Centre

The arena is the home ice for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL). It is located in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

When the arena first opened its doors in 1996, it was named the Molson Centre. The naming rights were later sold to Bell Canada, resulting in the current name.

It is one of the largest hockey arenas in the world, boasting a seating capacity of over 21,000 for hockey games. The passionate Montreal fan base ensures that it consistently sells out every single night.

Yes, the venue has hosted numerous massive UFC mixed martial arts events. Notably, it was the site of UFC 97 in 2009, where Anderson Silva defended his middleweight title against Thales Leites.
