On Tuesday, a police report from the Kentwood Police Department in Michigan revealed that Hill’s brother reported an assault on November 25. Police spoke with Hill’s brother at a nearby emergency room, where they gathered information about the alleged attack. As per police records, there was an argument that turned violent between the brothers.

The reported conflict originated from a disagreement regarding the payment of $300 to Hill’s sister-in-law for cleaning his empty house. Subsequently, the dispute shifted to more personal matters, with Hill’s brother addressing his failure to message his daughter on Thanksgiving and expressing concerns about his attitude towards women.

What followed was a shirtless Jamahal Hill charging towards his brother. Hill sucker punched his brother twice in the face which knocked him down and he went on to throw some punches even after that. Hill’s brother claimed that he didn’t want to confront the police and ruin his brother’s career but was forced due to safety reasons.

Combat fans have been left baffled by the incident as Hill has maintained a very good reputation inside as well as outside the octagon.
