@KazDibiase is the man indeed. Appreciate the work, sherbro!

 

[SenorFranko]

@KazDibiase you are easily one of the greatest Sherdoggers we've ever had.

Such a shame you're going to lose all your gifs but hopefully this won't stop you keep doing what you love.

U da man my G

Didn’t have time to watch the fights? No problem. Too broke to purchase the PPV? Kaz got you covered. Just stop by the heavies and get your highlights, free of charge, even before they’re tweeted or posted on-line elsewhere. Kaz’s gifs have been the subject of countless AVs, mine included. Kaz even gifs the funny moments that aren’t fight related, many times upon request. The dancing gifs are my favorites; iron turtle and platinum come to mind.

Cheers to a legend and stalwart member of the sherdog community.

High praise from @giovanni_ss and well deserved @KazDibiase!

It sucks that Gfycat is shutting down, but thanks for the years of gifs. Hopefully you're able to save some good ones and find a new hosting site so you can keep doing your thing.

Cheers, brother Kaz.

 

[don't ask]

@KazDibiase you're the highlight of every thread! I'm glad you're still posting -- I'll take that over 7000 gifs any day.

I don't buy ppv, I watch @KazDibiase

@KazDibiase - the man, the myth, the legendary Sherdog poster. MVP of the forums. i hear he can bench the bodyweight of the average Sherdogger too.

 

[electricfuneral]

i have been here a long time and I can say Kaz has made this place better. I log in during fight cards just for his gifs.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Pay the man.

 

[Kryptt]

Always enjoy the highlight recaps!

 

[Sasha]

Thank you. Don't worry for the database. The community needs @KazDibiase, the gifs can be made again, but there's only one gif demiurge.

 

[Strychnine]

Thank you thank you thank you @KazDibiase !

You've been a positive force and beyond for all of us here on Sherdog for the great work that you just... Grace us with. We are truly not worthy, but we're thankful.

If there's ever been a BMF Sherdogger, you sir, are it.

 

[Otto!]

Much hespect Kaz. Your work is always appreciated.

 

[humdizzle]

much respect to Kaz and his father Ted

 

[Oku]

I appreciate all the UFC fight gifs you have made on here fellow Gif brother. It's good to see you are able to continue on with another hosting site that allows gifs. Keep on going!

 

[Hollywood Jack]

Hey guys. On behalf of the Sherdog fam, let's all give thanks and appreciation to @KazDibiase for all the gifs he's made and shared to this forum of ours for the last 7 years. Sadly the hosting site that he uses for uploading his gifs is shutting down on Sept. 1st.

*****​

"Gfycat, the Snap-owned GIF-hosting platform, announced that it’s shutting down on September 1, pulling its full archive of GIFs offline. Users have two months to save content before it leaves the platform forever.

“The Gfycat service is being discontinued,” a message on the website writes. “Please save or delete your Gfycat content by visiting https://www.gfycat.com and logging in to your account. After September 1, 2023, all Gfycat content and data will be deleted from gfycat.com.”

And up until the very end, this man is still trying to reach and help us out with regards to all the fight related gifs he's uploaded through the years.


So let's... oh wait..

Q: Why is this in the UFC section? This is not UFC related. How's this even thread worthy?

A: The Sherdog forums is an online community and we value the members who has been making substantial contributions and has shown true loyalty and undying support to this site of ours over the years. Through thick and thin, heaven or hell. They deserve to have their moment in times like this.. and this one's super necessary.

@KazDibiase is a gem in the community and we are extremely lucky to have him here. Facts, if anyone in the world googles for a UFC gif for their own purposes, 99% of the chances is it's made by Kaz. And in a few more days some of these gifs might get deleted forever, so let's give our appreciation to everything he's done. We're very honored and thankful.



Thanks for all the gifs, @KazDibiase.
Good luck on the transition in finding a new (and hopefully better ) hosting site so we could see your gifs again
Respect, much love, and stay safe, champ.

P.S. I'll always remember you with the Wand knuckle avatar (see OP), the one you had when you won POTY


Let's hear it!!
(It's time to show some love to Kaz!)

I'm a BIG fan of his awesome gifs. Always a great addition to fight nights!
