Gilbert Burns says he didn't plan to retire but was prepared to walk away

Gilbert Burns stated he did not plan to retire following his recent fight, but was mentally prepared for that possibility. Burns explained he would be ready to walk away if he could not perform at his best, as he does not want to continue fighting just for a paycheck. Looking ahead, Burns expressed interest in becoming an MMA manager, believing he understands how to build a fighter's career. He also plans to open a gym in South Florida with close friend Wagner Rocha, focusing on changing children's lives rather than simply teaching martial arts. Burns emphasized wanting to impact young people's futures positively through this venture.
