Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill has found himself in legal trouble as he was arrested earlier this week in Michigan. The 32-year-old fighter was charged with one count of misdemeanor aggravated domestic violence for allegedly assaulting his brother, James Anthony Hill, resulting in serious or aggravated injury.

Hill was taken into custody on Monday morning and released from county jail later that evening. He is scheduled to appear in court in January to face the charges brought against him.

Currently, there have been no official statements from Hill or the UFC regarding the arrest. However, it is expected that a statement will be released in the next few days addressing the situation.

Hill, with a professional record of 12 wins, 1 no contest, was forced to give up his 205-pound title after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in July. He had been slated to face newly-crowned light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira in early 2024. The impact of Hill's recent arrest on these plans is yet to be determined.

This incident casts a cloud of uncertainty over Hill's professional career and raises concerns about his personal life. The allegations of domestic violence are serious, and the legal proceedings will ultimately decide the course of action that follows.

As the story develops, it remains to be seen how Hill and the UFC will navigate this troubling situation and whether there will be any long-term repercussions for his career in mixed martial arts.
