Georges St-Pierre advises fighters to retire before the sport defeats them

Georges St-Pierre has shared his perspective on how fighters should approach career endings. The former two-division UFC champion emphasized that fighters retire too late and should "beat the game" rather than letting it beat them. St-Pierre rejected the common narrative of "passing the torch," saying fighters should take it with them instead. He made a distinction between his fighting persona and his true identity, comparing it to Batman and Bruce Wayne, stressing that fighting was what he did, not who he is. St-Pierre's comments offer insight into his own successful retirement decision-making process.
