Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to his prolonged absence from competition. His last fight was against Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since that defeat, Covington has not competed in the octagon. He has instead been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and appearances at RAF events. The removal from rankings reflects the UFC's policy on fighter activity and maintaining current divisional standings.
