      • Deception (30%)
        The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that Taylor Swift and the NFL's traveling circus are making their way to Las Vegas when there is no mention of this event in the article. Secondly, the author uses selective reporting by only focusing on three bouts out of 13 while ignoring other important fights. Lastly, the author uses emotion manipulation by stating that Nassourdine Imavov seemed a world beater and ordinary at different points during his fight with Roman Dolidze.
        • The B/R combat team was in place to take it all in and deliver a real-time list of the show's definitive winners and losers.
        • Taylor Swift and the NFL's traveling circus are making their way to Las Vegas
      • Fallacies (70%)
        The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy by referencing the B/R combat team as a source of information. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing Nassourdine Imavov's performance in the main event.
        • > In some spots, Nassourdine Imavov seemed a world beater. <br> > In others, he seemed ordinary.
      • Bias (85%)
        The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses the phrase 'the traveling circus' to refer to Taylor Swift and the NFL, implying that they are not legitimate or important events compared to UFC Fight Night. This is an example of religious bias as it implies that one event is more significant than another based on personal beliefs.
        • It was a calm before the storm Saturday in Las Vegas. As anyone not living under a rock already knows, Taylor Swift and the NFL's traveling circus are making their way to the Nevada desert to set up for next weekend's Super Bowl. But the UFC staked its claim to some pre-game attention, too, with a 13-bout Fight Night card at the promotion's Apex facility home.

              • Deception (30%)
                The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Nassourdine Imavov and Chris Curtis have a mutual dislike for each other when there is no evidence to support this claim. Secondly, the author quotes Imavov as saying he wants to destroy Curtis in sparring sessions but does not provide any context or explanation of why this would be necessary. Lastly, the article presents an imbalanced view by only presenting one side of the story and ignoring other perspectives.
                • The article presents an imbalanced view by only presenting one side of the story and ignoring other perspectives. For example, it does not provide any information on Chris Curtis's perspective or why he gave the middle finger to Nassourdine Imavov.
                • The author claims that Nassourdine Imavov and Chris Curtis have a mutual dislike for each other when there is no evidence to support this claim. For example, in the article it states 'Despite the extracurricular distractions, Imavov got the victory but he wasn't happy with it.' This implies that their relationship was not positive.
                • The author quotes Nassourdine Imavov as saying he wants to destroy Chris Curtis in sparring sessions but does not provide any context or explanation of why this would be necessary. For example, in the article it states 'Imavov and Curtis fought at UFC 289 in June. The bout ended in a no contest due to a clash of heads, but a rivalry started at that same moment.'

              • Bias (85%)
                The author has a clear bias towards Nassourdine Imavov and against Chris Curtis. The language used to describe the two fighters is biased in favor of Imavov and against Curtis. For example, when describing Dolidze's performance, it says 'he was there to serve as a cornerman', implying that he did not contribute much to the fight itself but only served as an assistant for Curtis. When describing Imavov's victory over Dolidze by majority decision, it says 'Imavov got the victory', which implies that he won fair and square when in reality, there was controversy surrounding the decision. The author also uses language like 'rivalry started at that same moment' to describe their relationship, implying a negative connotation towards Curtis. Additionally, Imavov calls out Sean Strickland during his post-fight interview which is not relevant to the article and shows bias towards him.
                • Imavov gets described as 'trying to stay focused on the cage, but sometimes my wild side can happen a little bit'

                            The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Imavov 'successfully notched his first UFC main event win' when he actually lost to Sean Strickland and had a no contest with Chris Curtis in his previous two outings. Secondly, the author states that Dolidze survived an onslaught of attack late in Round 1 but fails to mention that Imavov dropped him to the canvas and tried more ground-and-pound from there. Thirdly, the article claims that 'Imavov's right hand proved to be money', yet it does not provide any evidence or context for this claim. Lastly, the author describes an unusual heated moment in Round 4 when Imavov grabbed hold of Dolidze's back and kicked him in the head but fails to mention that this was a foul and resulted in a deduction of one point from Imavov.

The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the UFC has ruled a previous bout between Nassourdine Imavov and Chris Curtis as a no contest due to a clash of heads. This is not true, as the official website for the UFC states that it was never officially ruled as such. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing Dolidze's reaction after being attacked in Round 4, stating that he put one hand on the canvas and made himself a grounded fighter according to Unified Rules of MMA. This is not true, as putting one hand on the canvas does not make someone a grounded fighter. The author also uses an appeal to emotion by describing Dolidze's luck in Round 5 changing despite his guts throughout the entirety of 25 minutes.
