Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings due to inactivity. Covington's last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, he has not competed in the octagon for an extended period. Instead of fighting, Covington has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has made appearances with RAF. The removal from the rankings reflects the UFC's policy of keeping the rankings current with active fighters.
