Georges St-Pierre says fighters should retire early and separate identity from career

Retired welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre shared his philosophy on career endings, stating that fighters retire too late and should "beat the game" rather than let it beat them. He rejected the notion of "passing the torch" and advocated taking it with you instead. St-Pierre emphasized the importance of separating his fighter identity (GSP) from his personal identity (Georges), comparing it to Batman and Bruce Wayne. He stressed that fighting was what he did, not who he is as a person. The comments reflect his approach to maintaining perspective and healthy boundaries in combat sports.
