Former Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight king Jamahal Hill allegedly had a run-in with the law.

According to TMZ Sports, Hill was arrested earlier this week and charged with one misdemeanor count of aggravated domestic violence in Kent County, Michigan, which is in the Grand Rapids metropolitan area.

Hill allegedly assaulted his elder brother, Jamahal Anthony Hill Jr., who is reported to have sustained “serious or aggravated injury” as a result. Further details regarding the arrest are yet to be released.

As per records, Hill is set to make an appearance in court on Jan.22

The former champion's management rep, Brian Butler, took to social media yesterday evening to provide a statement regarding the situation. Insisting on his client's innocence and denying all allegations, Butler stated:

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.

Hill has been out of action since he captured the light heavyweight title in a dominant showing against Glover Teixeira at UFC 283. Unfortunately, the Michigan native was forced to relinquish the title in July after sustaining an Achilles tendon rupture during a pickup basketball game.

Since then, the 32-year-old has been nursing himself back to health with the hopes of making a return in the summer of 2024.
