How do you pronounce Ciryl Gane?

It's weird that he prefers his name pronounced incorrectly but that's fine I guess. It's supposed to be "Gan" like in the word "plan" but instead he says it like "gain". And yet the commentary says "gahn".
 
I pronounce it Ciril Gan.

I'm french so I know.

T'y crois toi qu'un français a choppé une ceinture à l'UFC ? C'est ouf quand même, c'est écrit pour l'éternité de l'histoire du MMA !

BTW I pronounce it Cyril Goat.
 
Sigh-roll to read it, the proper pronunciation after hearing how it's pronounced.
 
Believe it or not it's actually pronounced Surreal Goon.

Sur-real. Goon.

Cyril (Ciryl, Cyrille, etc.) is not hard to pronounce you uncultured swine

It isn't. There's a very standard way to pronounce that name, at least in American English. What I've noticed is that some people try to push a more French pronunciation of his first name, where instead of a full R sound its almost like a D. Jon Anik always does this, saying his name almost like 'Siddle'.

It's always a little weird when people try hard to avoid the anglicization of their name when they are in an English-speaking country. Anywhere you travel, people are going to say your name a little differently, they aren't trying to belittle you. When in Rome...
