Georges St-Pierre discusses proper retirement timing and fighter identity

Georges St-Pierre has shared his philosophy on how fighters should approach retirement from the sport. The former two-division UFC champion emphasized that fighters retire too late and should 'beat the game' rather than let it beat them. He rejected the common narrative of 'passing the torch,' stating fighters should take it with them instead. St-Pierre drew a distinction between his fighting persona and his true self, comparing it to Batman and Bruce Wayne, explaining that fighting was what he did but not who he is as a person. His comments reflect his perspective on maintaining control over one's career trajectory and preserving legacy by exiting at the right time.
