Chad Mendes On Conor Mcgregor Fighting Dos Anjos

It does matter, because it sounds ridiculous. You're not going to be speaking in English while throwing in words with foreign accents. Do you apply the same thing to Russian names? Chinese names? How about Indian name pronunciation?

If you say HHHafael, then you should pronounce Fedor's name as Fyodor Yemilianenka if you want to stay consistent. But that would be ridiculous. Same applies to Brazilians who have common names.

Or a better one, do you say Patrick Cote in a french accent when talking about him?
When referring to names everybody should make an effort to pronounce them according to how that person pronounce s it.
