Georges St-Pierre: fighters retire too late, must beat the game before it beats you

Georges St-Pierre shared his philosophy on career endings, stating fighters typically retire too late and should outsmart the sport rather than let it defeat them. He rejected the notion of "passing the torch," insisting fighters should take it with them when they leave. St-Pierre emphasized the importance of separating his fighter identity from his personal identity, comparing it to Batman and Bruce Wayne. He stressed that fighting was what he did, not who he is as a person. The comments provide insight into how one of MMA's greatest champions approached the mental aspects of retirement and identity.
