Jamahal Hill Brother: What Happened Between the Two That Led to the Ex-UFC Champ’s Arrest?

Former UFC light heavyweight champion, Jamahal Hill will take on the current UFC light heavyweight champ, Alex Pereira at UFC 300. Going up to probably the biggest fight of his career yet, Hill has found himself tangling with an unfortunate family matter.

Jamahal Hill got himself into some trouble around the end of the year 2023, as he was accused of assaulting his brother, who painted the former champ in quite a bad picture. Here are more details about the assault.

Former UFC Champ’s alleged assault of brother

Jamahal Hill was arrested by the police on 27th November 2023 on the counts of aggravated domestic assault against his brother, James Hill. Jamahal reportedly punched his brother after arguments ensued after the two agreed to clean Hill’s house for $300.

The assault didn’t seem to stop there as Hill followed up with another punch, knocking out his brother’s tooth, leaving James dazed. The Officer noted that he saw “significant swelling” on the face of Jamahal’s brother.

It was reported that the argument began to get more heated when James asked Jamahal why he never texted his own daughter who was at their house for Thanksgiving also accusing the former UFC champ of being disrespectful to women and even abandoning his daughter.

Jamahal Hill headed into trial

After the incident that occurred on the night of Thanksgiving, UFC’s Jamahal Hill will go to trial for the assault on his brother just one month after his UFC 300 headliner. Released court documents suggest that Jamahal Hill did assault his brother at a home on Quaker Hill Court SE.

“Sweet Dreams” will take on Alex Pereira at the main event of UFC 300 for the UFC light-heavyweight title. Hill will finally get a shot at reclaiming the UFC title which he vacated after rupturing his Achilles in June 2023.

Though the UFC 300 event will be the biggest event in “Sweet Dreams” career so far, he has more on his shoulders than just the worry of the fight. The only hope right now is for the Michigan native to perform his best despite the court case he has after a month of the fight.

Jamahal Hill’s comments on the controversy

Jamahal Hill addressed the whole assault issue on his YouTube channel. Hill explained that during the time of the recording, the case was still open, which is why he was advised not to speak on the matter. However, Jamahal Hill did hint at his innocence in the video.

“Sweet Dreams” on his YouTube channel stated, “I just can’t wait for the truth to be told in court. I will wait for that day and I look forward to that day. The people who know me and know my character and truly, truly rock with me and know who I am, hold onto that and stay true to that. That’s all I’mma say on that.”
