On Dec. 1, TMZ reported that Hill was arrested by the Kent County Sheriff’s Department. The alleged victim was Hill’s older brother, James Anthony Hill Jr.
Jamahal’s career clearly seems to be taking a bad turn. This Monday, November 27, the American was arrested in the middle of the night for inglorious acts.

As revealed by the media TMZ, the former UFC champion was involved in a fight with… his brother. James Anthony Hill Jr. reportedly suffered “serious injuries” following the altercation with Jamahal. The American media, which had access to the police report, notes that the athlete has been charged and that he will have to appear before American justice next January. Released at the start of the week, the fighter hosted his brother under his roof until this incident.
According to records, the fighter was booked at a Kent County jail on Monday at around 1 AM … and released later that evening, at 7:35 PM. That same day, prosecutors formally charged the 32-year-old with one count of misdemeanor aggravated domestic violence.
In court documents we obtained, officials allege Hill assaulted James Anthony Hill Jr., inflicting “serious or aggravated injury upon him.”
It’s unclear if the two Hills are related, though officials said in the docs James is “a resident or former resident” of Jamahal’s household.
Further details surrounding the allegations were not made immediately available. Hill is due in court in January for a hearing on the matter.
We’ve reached out to Jamahal’s reps for comment, but so far, no word back.
amahal Hill, a year 2023 full of emotions
This new story does not help matters for ‘Sweet Dreams’. This summer, he had to relinquish his light heavyweight title following a major injury. Already at a standstill on a sporting level, the American is experiencing personal setbacks which could further delay his return, or simply slow him down.
One thing is certain: he is a long way from his flamboyant start to the year, where he beat Glover Teixeira to become UFC under-93 kg champion. A 2023 act that looks like a roller coaster for ‘Sweet Dreams’…
