Gilbert Burns ready to retire if unable to perform at high level

Gilbert Burns stated he did not plan to retire after his recent fight but was prepared for that possibility. Burns said if he cannot perform at his best level again, he is ready to walk away because he refuses to fight just for a paycheck. He revealed plans to become an MMA manager, believing he knows how to build a fighter's career successfully. Burns also wants to help young athletes in jiu-jitsu and plans to open a gym in South Florida with close friend Wagner Rocha, focusing not just on teaching martial arts but on changing children's futures.
