Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings due to a lack of fights. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost via stoppage. Since then, Covington has remained inactive in the octagon. Instead of competing in the UFC, Covington has been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and has been appearing at RAF events. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity.
