Gilbert Burns announces retirement plans, will open gym and become MMA manager

Gilbert Burns revealed he had not planned to retire after his recent fight, but was prepared for that possibility. He stated that if he cannot perform at his best level, he is ready to walk away because he does not want to fight just for a paycheck. Burns announced his intention to become an MMA manager, believing he can excel at building fighters' careers. He also plans to open a gym in South Florida with his close friend Wagner Rocha, focusing on changing the lives of young people through martial arts training rather than simply teaching technique. Burns emphasized that this mission is about transforming children's futures.
