Georges St-Pierre advises fighters to retire early and separate identity from fighting

Georges St-Pierre shared his philosophy on career endings, criticizing fighters who retire too late. He emphasized that fighters should "beat the game" rather than let it beat them, rejecting the notion of "passing the torch" and advocating to take it with you. GSP distinguished between his fighter persona and personal identity, stating that fighting was what he did, not who he is. He used the Batman and Bruce Wayne analogy to illustrate the importance of separating professional and personal identities. This advice comes from one of MMA's most successful retirees who left the sport on top.
