Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings due to lack of activity. His last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Despite being removed from the rankings, Covington has been busy with other activities including a lawsuit against Jorge Masvidal and competing in RAF (Royal Army Forces boxing). The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity. This marks a significant shift for Covington, who was previously a top contender in the welterweight division.
