UFC bantamweight veteran Urijah Faber took VanZant aside and lent some veteran-ly advice on how to deal with the fame that’s latched itself to her since she started fighting in the UFC’s octagon. “That poor girl has just been thrown into this whirlwind,” Faber, who next faces Frankie Saenz (11-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) at UFC 194, told MMAjunkie. (UFC 194 takes place at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena on Dec. 12.) VanZant (6-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) can only expect more of the same as she continues to climb up the ranks. This past Saturday, she notched her third straight UFC win, submitting Alex Chambers on the pay-per-view opener of UFC 191 at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena
