Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of fights. His last bout was against Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, Covington has not competed inside the octagon. The post notes that Covington has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has been performing at RAF events instead of fighting in the UFC. The removal from rankings typically indicates a fighter's inactive status within the organization. No timeline for Covington's potential return to UFC competition was mentioned.
