Gilbert Burns stated he did not plan to retire after his recent fight but was prepared for that possibility. He said if he cannot perform at his best level again, he is ready to walk away because he does not want to fight just for a paycheck. Burns revealed plans to become an MMA manager, believing he can excel at building fighters' careers. He also announced intentions to open a gym in South Florida with close friend Wagner Rocha, focusing on changing children's futures through martial arts rather than just teaching techniques. Burns emphasized his desire to make a meaningful impact on young people's lives through this venture.
