Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to his extended absence from competition. His last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost via stoppage. Despite being removed from the rankings, Covington remains active in other capacities, including a lawsuit against Jorge Masvidal and appearances with the Russian promotion RAF. The removal from rankings follows UFC policy regarding fighter inactivity and opens up spots in the welterweight rankings. Covington has not announced any upcoming fights at this time.
