Ciryl Gane is a new exciting heavyweight fighter out of France whom UFC desperately needed (after the retirement of old legends like Junior Dos Santos and Alistair Overeem), but probably didn't deserve.
Ciryl is a huge guy - big and muscular. The new heavyweights in MMA are generally big but Ciryl stands out even among them. This Anthony Joshua lookalike is bigger than big guys like Stipe Miocic (6'3.5") and stands shoulder to shoulder with Francis Ngannou (6'4").
Imagine how Daniel Cormier (5'9.5") would like next to him, or better still - Joe Rogan. After the retirement of Stefan Struve the only other fighter bigger than Ciryl is Alexander Volkov (6'7"), but only in height, not in width.
UFC lists Ciryl at 6'5" and after comparing him with some new and old fighters we think UFC is a bit generous.
The height of Ciryl Gane is
6'4.5" or 194 cm

Data painstakingly extracted more or less from Wikipedia and some other sources. Expect up to half an inch of discrepancy from real life. All heights are supposed to belong to relatively young people of the urban areas, so they may come out slightly over the real average height.
