Gilbert Burns says he did not plan retirement but was prepared for it

Gilbert Burns stated he had not planned to retire after his most recent fight, but was mentally prepared for that possibility. He explained that if he could not perform at his full capability again, he would be ready to walk away, as he does not want to fight just for the paycheck. Burns expressed interest in becoming an MMA manager, believing he would excel at the job due to his knowledge of how to build a fighter's career. He also wants to help fighters with their jiu-jitsu and plans to open a gym in South Florida with close friend Wagner Rocha, focusing on changing the lives of young people rather than just teaching martial arts.
