Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to his lack of recent fights. His last bout was against Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, Covington has been inactive in the UFC octagon. He is currently involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has been competing in RAF. The UFC's decision to remove him from the rankings reflects their policy on fighter activity and maintaining current divisional standings.
