Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jamahal Hill was arrested earlier this week according to TMZ Sports and has been charged with one count of misdemeanor aggravated domestic violence.
The report states that Jamahal allegedly attacked James Anthony Hill Jr., causing "serious or aggravated injury upon him." Hill was booked in a Kent County (Michigan) jail this past Monday at approximately 1am, but was released from custody on Monday Night.
There are no other details surrounding what went down between the former light heavyweight champion and his brother, but Hill’s agent in Brian Butler-au issued the following statement on X:
The recent “click bait” headlines about @JamahalH were based on an alleged dispute between him and his older brother.

Jamahal adamantly maintains his innocence and denies the false accusations. We will not be commenting anymore about this until the truth comes out in court.
