Georges St-Pierre advises fighters to retire early and not let the game beat them

Georges St-Pierre shared his philosophy on retirement, stating that fighters leave the sport too late and should "beat the game" rather than let it beat them. He rejected the idea of "passing the torch," saying fighters should take it with them instead. GSP emphasized the importance of separating his fighter identity from his personal identity, comparing it to Batman and Bruce Ceyne. Dana White commented that he does not want to strip Carlos Ulberg of a title shot or create an interim belt, saying everything will be decided after a personal meeting. Arman Tsarukyan's teammate posted video of Arman discussing his plan to rush the cage with Urijah Faber. Merab Dvalishvili responded to the incident, suggesting Tsarukyan has championship qualities except self-control. Sean Strickland traveled near Khamzat Chimaev's gym and posted his location, challenging Chimaev's previous threats. Chimaev responded to challenges from Bo Nickal and other wrestlers, offering $200,000 to any Olympic champion who can survive sparring with him.
