Colby Covington has been removed from the official UFC rankings due to lack of recent fights. Covington last competed in 2024 when he lost by stoppage to Joaquin Buckley. Since then, he has not taken any fights inside the octagon. Instead, Covington has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has made appearances at other combat sports events. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity. This removal reflects the organization's policy of keeping rankings current with active competitors.
