Quick read
Former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre shared his philosophy on how fighters should approach retirement from competition. GSP stated that fighters tend to retire too late and emphasized the importance of "beating the game" rather than letting the game beat you. He rejected the common narrative of "passing the torch," suggesting fighters should instead take it with them when they leave. St-Pierre made a clear distinction between his fighting persona and personal identity, comparing it to Batman and Bruce Wayne, noting that fighting was what he did, not who he is as a person. His comments offer insight into his mindset that allowed him to retire on top after his 2017 middleweight title victory.
