Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings due to lack of activity. His last fight was a loss to Joaquin Buckley in 2024, where he was finished before the final bell. Since then, Covington has not competed in the octagon. Instead, he has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has made appearances at RAF events. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity to keep the rankings current and relevant. This represents a significant fall from grace for the former title challenger who was once a top contender in the division.
