Georges St-Pierre explains proper retirement timing and identity separation

Georges St-Pierre shared his philosophy on fighter retirement and personal identity. He believes fighters retire too late and that one should "beat the game, not let it beat you." He rejected the idea of "passing the torch," saying to take it with you instead. St-Pierre emphasized that fighting was what he did, not who he is, drawing a distinction between "GSP the fighter" and "Georges the person." He compared this to the difference between Batman and Bruce Wayne, stressing the importance of knowing the distinction. This perspective offers insight into how the former champion managed his career exit and post-fighting identity.
