Re-worded some of his background due to poor construction and grammar. Fixed more year and grammar typos. Removed "Debut" for DWCS because it was his only appearance. Fixed more period typos. Removed "Walker" from winning a UFC contract as it was actually Aslan, the person in question. Cleaned up article dramatically
