Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

The UFC has removed Colby Covington from their official rankings due to his absence from competition. Covington's last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, he has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has been competing in the RAF promotion instead of the UFC. The removal from rankings reflects the UFC's policy on fighter inactivity.
