Burns Retires From UFC After Winnipeg TKO Loss

Gilbert Burns unexpectedly retired after his TKO loss to Mike Malott in the UFC Fight Night 273 main event in Winnipeg, saying he couldn’t perform at 100% and wouldn’t fight for a paycheck. The former title challenger finishes 22-10 with a 2021 title shot against Usman and wins over Masvidal, Woodley and Thompson, and now plans to become an MMA manager and help develop fighters from his South Florida base.
