Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to his lack of fights. Covington's last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost via stoppage. Since then, he has not competed inside the octagon. Currently, Covington is involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has been competing in the Reality Arena Fighting (RAF) promotion. His removal from the rankings marks a significant change in his status within the UFC welterweight division.
