Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to a lack of fights. His last bout was against Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Despite the removal from rankings, Covington has been involved in a lawsuit with Masvidal and has competed for the Russian promotion RAF. The removal reflects the UFC's policy on inactive fighters who do not compete within a certain timeframe.
