Gilbert Burns stated he did not plan to retire after his recent bout but was prepared for that possibility. He indicated that if he could not perform at his best again, he would be ready to walk away rather than continue fighting just for paychecks. Burns revealed plans to become an MMA manager, believing he knows how to build a fighter's career. He also wants to open a gym in South Florida with close friend Vagner Rocha to help change children's lives through martial arts. Burns emphasized the goal is not just teaching technique but transforming young people's futures.
