Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of activity. Covington last fought in 2024 when he lost by stoppage to Joaquin Buckley. Since then, Covington has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has competed in the RAF promotion. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity. Covington's removal reflects the organization's policy of keeping rankings current with active competitors.
