James “Boom Boom” Mancini is a Montreal-based comedian, former professional MMA fighter, elite wrestler, and combat-sports commentator. A longtime member of Canada’s national wrestling scene, Mancini trained alongside Georges St-Pierre and later helped coach wrestling at Tristar Gym before launching his own MMA career, highlighted by a viral suplex knockout in his professional debut.
After stepping away from fighting, he turned his attention to stand-up comedy, quickly becoming a regular on the Montreal scene. His first comedy special, Oil Check, is available on YouTube through The Boom Boom Show. On Fight Stories, James talks about growing up in wrestling, training with GSP, the transition from competitor to comedian, and why bombing onstage can hurt worse than losing a fight.
