Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings due to lack of activity. His last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost via stoppage. Covington has not competed since that defeat and has instead been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and appearances at other fighting promotions. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity, and Covington's removal follows this policy. This marks a significant fall for the former title challenger who was once ranked among the division's elite.
