Burns says he's ready to retire if he can't perform, plans MMA management

Gilbert Burns stated he did not plan to retire immediately after his most recent fight but was prepared for that possibility. He explained that if he cannot perform at his best level, he is ready to walk away because he refuses to fight just for a paycheck. Burns revealed his post-fighting career plans include becoming an MMA manager, believing he knows how to build successful careers. He also wants to help children through jiu-jitsu, working with close friend Wagner Rocha who is already changing kids' lives. Burns plans to open a gym in South Florida focused not just on teaching martial arts but on changing children's futures.
