Burns open to retirement if performance falters, plans MMA management career

Gilbert Burns revealed he hadn't planned to retire after his recent fight but was prepared for that possibility. He stated that if he can't perform at his full level again, he's ready to walk away because he doesn't want to fight just for paychecks. Burns outlined post-fighting career plans including becoming an MMA manager, believing he knows how to build fighters' careers effectively. He wants to help Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners and plans to open a gym in South Florida with close friend Wagner Rocha. His focus will be on changing kids' futures rather than just teaching martial arts.
