Gilbert Burns reveals retirement plans and future as MMA manager

Gilbert Burns stated he did not plan to retire after his recent fight but was mentally prepared for that possibility. The Brazilian welterweight says if he cannot perform at his best again, he is ready to walk away because he refuses to fight just for a paycheck. Burns revealed plans to become an MMA manager, expressing confidence in his ability to build fighters' careers. He also intends to open a gym in South Florida with close friend Wagner Rocha, focusing not just on teaching martial arts but on changing children's futures. Burns emphasized he never wanted to open a gym before but is now committed to making a positive impact on young people's lives through this venture.
