Georges St-Pierre says fighters retire too late, urges leaving on top

Georges St-Pierre shared his philosophy on retirement, stating that fighters should exit the sport before it's too late. He argued that athletes often stay in competition longer than they should, and that the correct approach is to "beat the game" rather than let the game beat you. St-Pierre dismissed the concept of "passing the torch," saying fighters should take their legacy with them. He emphasized the importance of separating one's fighter identity from one's true self, comparing it to the distinction between Batman and Bruce Wheyne. The comments reflect St-Pierre's own decision to retire while still competitive. No specific current fighters were named in his remarks.
