Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity since 2024 loss to Buckley

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of recent fights. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, Covington has not competed in the octagon. Instead, he has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has participated in events with the RAF (Real American Fight) promotion. The removal from rankings is standard UFC practice for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods. No information was provided about whether Covington plans to return to active competition.
