Gilbert Burns stated he did not plan to retire immediately after his recent fight, but was prepared for that possibility if he couldn't perform at his best. He emphasized he won't continue fighting just for paychecks and is ready to walk away if he can't compete at a high level. 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 on changing children's lives rather than just teaching martial arts. Burns has never wanted to open a gym before but is now committed to this new path of helping young athletes.
