Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of activity. His last fight was against Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, Covington has not competed in the octagon and has instead been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and appearances at RAF events. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity. Covington will need to schedule and compete in a fight to regain his ranked status in the welterweight division.
