Georges St-Pierre says fighters retire too late, urges taking legacy when leaving

Georges St-Pierre has shared his philosophy on retirement timing in MMA, stating that fighters leave the sport too late and should "beat the game" rather than let it beat them. The former two-division UFC champion emphasized that fighting was what he did, not who he is, comparing the distinction to Batman and Bruce Wayne. St-Pierre criticized the notion of fighters saying they "passed the torch," instead advocating that fighters should take their legacy with them when they retire. His comments reflect his own successful retirement from the sport while still competitive, avoiding the decline many fighters experience by continuing too long. The Hall of Famer's perspective offers guidance to current fighters on preserving their health and legacy.
