Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of fights. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Despite being inactive in UFC competition, Covington has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has competed in RAF (a bare-knuckle fighting promotion). The removal from rankings is a standard UFC practice for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods. Covington's future in the UFC remains uncertain given his current legal issues and lack of scheduled fights.
