Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to not competing. His last fight was against Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Covington has been inactive in the UFC while pursuing legal action against Jorge Masvidal and competing in other ventures. The removal from rankings is standard UFC protocol for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods. Covington's extended absence from competition has now resulted in his exclusion from the official divisional standings.
