Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to a lack of recent fights. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which ended in a stoppage loss. Since then, Covington has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has been competing in RAF instead of the UFC. The removal from rankings typically happens when fighters go extended periods without competing in the organization. This marks a significant shift in Covington's standing within the promotion.
