According to the police report, the incident originated at 7 p.m. local time. The issue started with heated conversations concerning Jamahal Hill’s abandoned property, which was without electricity and had ruined food. As per James’ testimony, Jamahal removed his shirt, challenged his brother, and reportedly threw a strong punch, forcing James to fall to the ground.

According to the report, once James rose up again with his wife interfering, Jamahal allegedly attacked his brother again, resulting in a knocked-out tooth and substantial facial swelling. Following the fight, James allegedly texted Jamahal, requesting an explanation and an apology, but received no answer. According to the police report, the state’s Prosecutor’s Office found enough evidence to prosecute Hill with misdemeanor aggravated domestic violence.

Jamahal Hill allegedly sucker-punched brother for bringing his daughter into the dispute

Jamahal Hill, the former UFC light heavyweight champion, faced accusations of beating his brother, James Anthony Hill Jr. The brawl allegedly began after a disagreement about a contract between Hill and his brother. James and his wife had agreed to clean Jamahal’s unoccupied house for $300. The house’s lack of power had caused food to deteriorate, resulting in an argument at about 7 p.m. local time.

The argument escalated when James introduced Jamahal’s daughter into the equation, fueling the already heated dispute. He questioned Hill about not texting his daughter, who was there at their Thanksgiving dinner. James accused Hill of insulting women and neglecting his own daughter. According to the police report, Hill’s initial blow was a sucker punch. Despite his hesitation about involving the authorities, James reported the event.

A witness also backed up James’s side of the story. He said that when attempting to interfere between the brothers, Jamahal did not touch James’s wife, allegedly going around to throw the second blow to James. During the altercation, Jamahal’s three children were allegedly present in the room.
