Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to not competing in recent fights. His last bout was against Buckley in 2024, which he lost via stoppage. 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 the rankings reflects the UFC's policy on fighter activity requirements. Details on whether Covington plans to return to active UFC competition were not mentioned in the post.
