The article contains examples of bias in the form of a statement that is not supported by evidence. The author states that 'one is about to stay at the front of the conversation and the other is about to take a significant step back'. This statement implies that one person will be successful while another will fail, but there are no specific details provided to support this claim. Additionally, there are examples of bias in terms of language used by the author.

Manon Fiorot has a height and reach advantage over her opponents
Fiorot's best weapon is her jab which she throws with volume while still landing at a high percentage. Her unique kicking range makes it difficult for opponents to close the distance enough to grapple or shoot for a takedown.
Blanchfield bulldozed her way through opponents until she faced Santos last year, but Fiorot is much tougher matchup for Blanchfield.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author states that Blanchfield could earn a title opportunity against Grasso and become the youngest champion in UFC history if she can get past Fiorot. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that winning this fight will guarantee her a shot at the championship when there are other factors to consider such as Grasso's upcoming trilogy bout with Shevchenko. Secondly, the author states that Blanchfield bulldozed her way through opponents until she faced Santos last year. This statement is false as it implies that Blanchfield had an easy time against all of her previous opponents when in fact she has faced tough competition such as Andrade and Santos who are both top-level fighters. Thirdly, the author states that Fiorot's best weapon is her jab which could decide this fight. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that Blanchfield cannot defend against the jab when in fact she has faced tough opponents such as Andrade and Santos who are both skilled strikers. Finally, the author states that Fiorot's takedown defense is exceptional which could make it difficult for Blanchfield to get her down on the mat. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that Blanchfield cannot take Fiorot down when in fact she has shown improvement every time we see her in the cage and has earned all of the hype that she has generated.

The article contains multiple examples of bias. Firstly, the title mentions Dana White's body transformation secrets which is a clear example of sensationalism and clickbait. Secondly, in the first paragraph there are two statements that demonstrate religious bias: 'Dana White explains the Superhuman Protocol that changed his life'. The use of words like 'Superhuman' implies an extreme or unrealistic view on human capabilities and suggests a belief in supernatural powers which is not supported by scientific evidence. Additionally, the phrase 'why you don't need a $120,000 in equipment to live healthy.' implies that living a healthy lifestyle is easy and accessible for everyone regardless of their financial situation which may be seen as dismissive or insensitive towards those who cannot afford such resources.
