Quick read
Gilbert Burns stated he did not plan to retire after today's fight but was prepared for that possibility. He indicated that if he cannot perform at his best again, he is ready to walk away because he refuses to simply collect paychecks. Burns revealed his post-fighting career plans, which include becoming an MMA manager, believing he has the knowledge to build successful fighter careers. He also expressed interest in working with jiu-jitsu students and opening a gym in South Florida with close friend Wagner Rocha, focusing not just on teaching martial arts but on changing young people's lives. While he never previously wanted to open a gym, this new mission of impacting youth has become important to him.
