Details surrounding Jamahal Hill’s recent arrest have come to light via a police report.
The Kentwood Police Department provided the report to MMA Fighting following the former UFC light heavyweight champion’s arrest on Nov. 27, where Hill was charged with domestic assault for allegedly striking his brother James.
Jamahal Hill was arrested in the early morning hours of Nov. 27 and was charged with one count of aggravated domestic violence after allegedly punching his brother, James Hill Jr., in the face multiple times two days prior.
According to a report from the Kent County Sheriff’s Office and TMZ, James Hill and Jamahal Hill were going to clean the UFC star’s house because he had left it for months and needed to get rid of the food that had gone bad in the refrigerator. James Hill Jr. offered to clean the house in exchange for $300. The document states that he allegedly cleaned the entire house, except for a freezer in the garage.

The affair is revealed
Two arguments then broke out between the brothers, according to the police report. The first argument caused James Hill to leave the scene. Jamahal Hill then texted his brother asking why he hadn’t cleaned the freezer in the garage and demanded half the money for only doing half the work. James Hill returned to his brother’s home on November 25 to finish the job, before a second argument ensued, which turned physical.
According to the documents, Jamahal Hill hit his brother so hard that one of his teeth fell out and his face and left eye appeared swollen. Hill confided on his Youtube channel, the former champion is impatiently awaiting his trial to clarify this story.
It’s been almost a year since Jamahal Hill last fought in the octagon, after winning the world title against Glover Teixeira at UFC 283. ‘Sweet Dreams’ was expecting a clash with Jiri Prochazka, former 93kg titleholder, but Hill suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in July, forcing him to relinquish his light heavyweight title.
