Burns open to retirement, plans MMA management and gym with Rocha

Gilbert Burns stated he did not plan to retire after his recent fight but was prepared for that possibility. He said if he cannot perform at his best again, he is ready to walk away because he does not want to fight just for a paycheck. Burns revealed plans to become an MMA manager, believing he can excel at building fighters' careers. He wants to work with jiu-jitsu athletes and plans to open a gym in South Florida with close friend Wagner Rocha. Burns emphasized the gym will focus on changing children's lives and futures, not just teaching martial arts.
