Andriy Zaporizhia

Background
Andiry Zaporizhia has worked as a nuclear technician for over twenty years, stationed primarily in Japan. The Ukrainian has worked at various different plants over his career since moving to Japan. Due to this long career, he has suffered severe, prolonged exposure to radiation, which explains his hideous, deformed appearance. Particularly his face. Especially his face.

Despite a strong showing in his MMA debut at the Peace Love Fist Summit, Zaporizhia failed to impress in HCL, after a disappointing 0-2 record. Citing a desire to return to his home in Japan, Zaporizhia requested and was granted a release from his HCL contract on Friday, November 29, 2013.
