Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to a lack of fights. His last bout was a loss to Ian Machado Garry in 2024, where he was stopped. Since then, Covington has not competed in the UFC, instead focusing on his lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and appearing in the reality show RAF. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity. Covington's removal marks a significant fall for a former welterweight title challenger.
