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

Georges St-Pierre has shared his philosophy on retirement, stating that fighters leave the sport too late and should 'beat the game' rather than let it beat them. He criticized the notion of 'passing the torch,' saying fighters should take it with them instead. GSP emphasized the importance of separating one's fighting persona from personal identity, comparing it to Batman and Bruce Weyne. He noted that 'GSP was a fighter, but Georges is not,' highlighting the need to understand that fighting is what you do, not who you are. This advice comes from one of MMA's most successful champions who retired on his own terms.
