Paige VanZant wants quick return, but also wants new contract first

Following her finish of Alex Chambers at UFC 191, Paige VanZant is looking for a fairly quick return to action.

But she'd like to take care of her long-term future first.

The emerging strawweight star has just one fight left on her UFC deal, MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani reported on Wednesday's edition of UFC Tonight.

And while VanZant (6-1) wants to keep gaining experience and return to the cage by December or January, her manager, Mike Roberts, says VanZant would like to get a new contract locked up.

As for who she might fight?
