Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of recent fights. His last bout was against Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, Covington has not competed in the UFC octagon. Meanwhile, he has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has made appearances at RAF events. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity. Covington's removal marks a significant shift in his status within the organization's welterweight division.
