Georges St-Pierre explains philosophy on retirement and fighter identity

Georges St-Pierre has shared his thoughts on how fighters should approach retirement and separate their fighting persona from their true identity. The former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion stated that fighters retire too late and that they should "beat the game" rather than let the game beat them. He rejected the notion of "passing the torch" in favor of taking it with you. St-Pierre emphasized that fighting was what he did, not who he is, comparing the distinction to Batman and Bruce Wayne. Dana White also commented that he does not want to strip a champion or introduce an interim title, saying everything will be decided after a personal meeting. Other news in the digest includes Arman Tsarukyan's teammate posting video about rushing the cage with Urijah Faber, Merab Dvalishvili calling Tsarukyan a spoiled child, Sean Strickland posting his location near Khamzat Chimaev's gym, and Chimaev responding to wrestling challenges by offering $200K to any Olympic champion who survives sparring.
