Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of activity. Covington last fought in 2024 when he lost by stoppage to Joaquin Buckley. Since then, he has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has competed in the RAF promotion instead of the UFC. The removal from rankings is standard UFC policy for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods. Covington's absence from the Octagon has now resulted in official removal from the divisional standings.
