Ex-UFC champ Jamahal Hill ARRESTED for aggravated domestic violence against brother

Authorities have arrested former UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill in Michigan. Authorities charged him with misdemeanor aggravated domestic violence, and the incident reportedly occurred earlier this week. Hill faced accusations of assaulting his elder brother, James Anthony Hill Jr., inflicting “serious or aggravated injury upon him.”

Kent County officials booked Jamahal Hill into jail in Grand Rapids, Michigan, around 1 a.m. on Monday. The extent of the claimed injuries inflicted on his brother is unknown, and the judicial processes will most likely shed light on the incident’s facts. Brian Butler, Hill’s agent, made a statement claiming Hill’s innocence. This is what he said:

Jamahal adamantly maintains his innocence and denies the false accusations. We won't say anything further about it until the truth comes out in court.

Hill, who came to popularity in the UFC with a phenomenal 12-1 record, had to relinquish his championship title in July due to a torn Achilles tendon. The Michigan native won the championship in January after defeating previous champion Glover Teixeira in Brazil.

The arrest comes at a time when the MMA world is already buzzing with news. The revelation concerning Hill has switched the attention from athletic accomplishments to legal issues. This has also raised concerns about the impact on Hill’s career and reputation.
