Georges St-Pierre shared his philosophy on retirement timing for fighters, 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," insisting fighters should take it with them when they leave. St-Pierre emphasized the importance of separating one's identity as a fighter from one's personal identity, comparing it to the distinction between Batman and Bruce Wayne. He stated that fighting was what he did, not who he is. These comments reflect GSP's perspective on maintaining control over one's career trajectory and legacy in MMA.
