Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Former welterweight title contender Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to inactivity. Covington's last fight was against Ian Machado Garry in 2024, where he suffered a stoppage loss. Since then, he has not competed inside the octagon. The post notes that Covington has been occupied with a lawsuit against Jorge Masvidal and appearances with the Republican Action Force (RAF) rather than fighting. His removal from the rankings reflects the UFC's policy of excluding fighters who remain inactive for extended periods.
