Gilbert Burns considers retirement but plans to pursue MMA management career

Gilbert Burns stated he did not plan to retire after his recent fight, but acknowledged he was mentally prepared for that possibility. He revealed that if he cannot perform at his best again, he is ready to walk away rather than continue fighting just for money. Burns expressed interest in becoming an MMA manager, believing he has the knowledge to help build fighters' careers. He also plans to open a gym in South Florida with his close friend Wagner Rocha, focusing on changing children's lives rather than simply teaching martial arts. The veteran fighter emphasized his desire to help young jiu-jitsu practitioners develop their futures.
