Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to an extended period of inactivity. Covington last fought Joaquin Buckley in 2024, losing via stoppage. Since that defeat, he has not competed in the octagon. The post notes that Covington has been involved in legal disputes with Jorge Masvidal and has made appearances with RAF (a Russian promotion). His removal from the rankings reflects the UFC's policy on fighter activity. No indication has been given about when or if Covington plans to return to active competition.
