Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings due to prolonged inactivity. Covington's last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, where he lost by stoppage. Since then, Covington has not competed in the octagon. He has instead been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and making appearances at RAF events. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods without booking or competing in fights.
