Quick read
Georges St-Pierre has offered his perspective on how fighters should approach retirement, emphasizing the importance of leaving the sport on one's own terms. St-Pierre stated that fighters retire too late and stressed that competitors should "beat the game" rather than let the game beat them. He rejected the notion of "passing the torch," suggesting fighters should instead take the torch with them when they leave. St-Pierre drew a distinction between his fighter persona and his personal identity, comparing it to the relationship between Batman and Bruce Wayne. He emphasized that fighting was what he did for a living, not the totality of his identity, suggesting this mental separation is crucial for healthy retirement.
