Brett Okamoto, MMA columnist for ESPN.com and analyst for “MMA Live,” reported that former UFC champion Jamahal Hill was arrested this week in Michigan and charged with misdemeanor aggravated domestic violence, according to Kent County officials. Hill, 32, was booked into jail in Grand Rapids, Michigan, at 1 a.m. on Monday. Allegations state that Hill assaulted his brother, James Anthony Hill Jr., causing “serious or aggravated injury.” Hill’s representative, Brian Butler, stated that they will refrain from further comments until the truth is revealed in court. Hill vacated the UFC championship in July after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon, and had been a breakthrough athlete since earning a UFC contract in 2019. Additionally, Alex Pereira claimed the UFC’s light heavyweight title last month.
