Heinous Manipulations

Fighter profile of Terrance Clam Digger by Aylib 2.0

Impact has been lucky enough to be able to host an exhibition fight between Terrance Clam Digger and Jupiter Jones.

Terrance "Jackson" Clam Digger was generous enough to take some time out from his training and speak to Impact's very own reporter, Josh Rogan.

Terrance Clam Digger

Hi this is Josh Rogan and today I'll be trying to get an insight into the mind of one of the top fighters from Sisu Fights, Terrence "Jackson" Clam Digger.

Rogan: Terrence "Jackson" Clam Digger is ranked 260th in the world, Jupiter Jones is ranked at nearly 3000th, how did this fight come about and what were your reasons for agreeing to fight him?

Clam Digger: It's a bit of a funny story, actually. I was in bed Ronda Rousey, practicing zhu-zhitsu when my phone rang and I saw it was my manager, Ilya B. calling. I really didn’t want to give up that North-South position, but I figured it might be related to that new contract I just signed with Sisu Fights few days prior. So, I got on the phone and he tells me that he got into a dick-measuring contest with another manager who wants his top fighter tested, and since all of his top fighters had fights pending, by default I was his selection. That didn't make me feel very appreciated, and I wanted to tell him off, but Nick Diaz, who was also with us (he was playing PS4 and smoking ganja) must have had an effect on my decision, as he glared at me while passing the bong, and said those famous words: "Don't be scared, homie". The rest is kinda hazy, but I am still putting bits and pieces together, and figuring out why my manager would agree to something like this.

Rogan: I hopefully get chance to ask Jupiter Jones this question too but I'd be interested to hear your comments on it. After agreeing to fight Jones, you could probably have fought in pretty much any of the bigger orgs and gained a lot of publicity for your fighter but instead you've chosen to fight in a relatively new, small org. Could you tell us your reasons for that please?

Clam Digger: My manager didn't tell me it would be in a small arena, I was told we'd be co-main eventing Jones-Texeira. Well, whatever, I really don't care, I'm getting fed up with this Don King-like treatment. I dunno, this might be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I'm going to try and make the best of it--try to put my emotions into training hard and coming in focused.

Rogan: Jupiter Jones is the clear underdog, is this purely an exhibition fight or do you think he might actually have a chance of winning?

Clam Digger: I have to make sure I am fighting who Mr. Berler said I would be fighting-- I was told that the guy was a beast that can't be finished and that I shouldn’t get too comfortable. He did mention that the guy is ranked significantly lower, and I don't know if he used this as motivation, or what, but he said that if I lose, I'll become the laughing stock of MMA world and possibly get released. I'm telling you, this guy must think he is a genius, playing these f------- head games with me, but I'm over that s---. To answer your question--yes, he has a chance, every dog has its day.

Rogan: Jones is reported to have a granite chin and as such has never been knocked out, are you going to be the first man to do it?

Clam Digger: As far as trying to be the first guy to KO Jones--I'd love to, but my game plan going into this fight is multifaceted. I will throw everything but the kitchen sink at the guy, and if the opportunity presents to smoke him--you better believe I will take it.

Rogan: You were currently under contract with Sisu Fights but they kindly released you for one fight so you could fight Jones, are you worried about your reputation if you lose when you go back to Sisu Fights as you were the highest ranking Bantamweight in the org before you left?

Clam Digger: Sisu fights owner was very kind in letting me fight outside if his org, and his parting words were similar to my managers--something along the lines of looking for employment elsewhere if I end up with anything less than a spectacular finish. So, you see, it is in my best interest to dig myself out of this hole that Mr. Berler kindly decided to throw me into.

Well that’s all the questions Clam Digger had time for, he jumped into a cab and was muttering something about zhu-zhitsu and round 2, whatever that means.

Stay tuned for more interviews, hopefully Jupiter Jones will find time for us soon.
