Gilbert Burns stated that he did not plan to retire after his recent fight but was prepared for that possibility. He indicated that if he cannot show his full capabilities again, he is ready to walk away because he does not want to fight just for a paycheck. Burns expressed interest in becoming an MMA manager, believing he knows how to build a fighter's career. He also mentioned plans to open a gym in South Florida with close friend Vagner Rocha, focusing on changing the lives of children rather than simply teaching martial arts. Burns emphasized his desire to make a meaningful impact on young people's futures.
