Gilbert Burns has stated he did not plan to retire after today's fight but was prepared for that possibility. Burns explained that if he cannot perform to his full potential again, he is ready to walk away rather than simply fighting for paychecks. Looking ahead to his post-fighting career, Burns expressed interest in becoming an MMA manager, believing he has the knowledge to build successful careers. He also plans to open a gym in South Florida with close friend Wagner Rocha, focusing not just on teaching martial arts but on changing children's lives and futures through the sport.
