Before stepping into the Octagon in Winnipeg, there hadnāt been any real signs that Burns was thinking about retiring. But after the fight, it was clear to him that it was time to move on.
Having spent more than a decade competing at the highest level, he feels heās picked up a lot along the way that could benefit younger fighters coming up through the ranks.
Now, Burns has shared that he plans to step into fighter management, aiming to do things differently from how many managers currently operate.
āI think now, another cycle of my life will begin where I will also give my all, I will dedicate myself, I will do many things, I already have a plan to be a manager now, this plan was tucked away in a drawer, now itās time to take it out of the draw,ā Burns said.
He added: āI think itās possible to help many athletes get to the UFC with good work. I think there are many managers who just put the guy there and give the minimum amount of help, but it doesnāt really help a guy to have a professional career as it should be.ā
