Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to a lack of fights. His last bout was against Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, Covington has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has competed in RAF rather than the UFC. The removal reflects the organization's policy of delisting inactive fighters from official rankings. No timeline for Covington's return to UFC competition has been indicated.
