This is a list of events occurring in the 1700s, ordered by year.

Year 1700 (MDCC) was an exceptional common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar and a leap year starting on Monday of the Julian calendar. The Gregorian calendar was 10 days ahead of the Julian calendar until February 28 [O.S. February 18, 1700] 1700, then 11 days ahead from March 1 [O.S. February 19, 1700] 1700. With the Gregorian Calendar starting in 1582, and 1600 being evenly divisible by 400, and thus being a leap year under the Gregorian system despite being a century year, this was the first skipped leap year under the Gregorian Calendar. In Sweden, the year started in the Julian calendar and remained so until February 28. Then, by skipping the leap day, the Swedish calendar was introduced, letting February 28 be followed by March 1, giving the entire year the same pattern as a common year starting on Monday. This calendar, being 10 days behind the Gregorian and 1 day ahead of the Julian, lasts until 1712.

Justin Wilcox is an American mixed martial artist from San Jose, California. He is a former professional bodybuilder and a former NCAA Division I wrestler who is currently signed with Strikeforce, competing in their lightweight division.

He got started in MMA by Dan Swift of DNA MMA from Erie Pennsylvania and trained with Dan and also got his first fights in which Dan set up for him. Wilcox wrestled in college with Josh Koscheck. After a shaky 2-2 start to his career, he moved to train with Koscheck at American Kickboxing Academy as well as dropping down a weight class to compete at lightweight. In his MMA debut he notably defeated Bobby Voelker.

After signing with Strikeforce, Wilcox fought against Mitsuhiro Ishida and lost by submission (armbar) at 1:21 of the first round.
