Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC's official rankings due to an extended period without competing. Covington last fought against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, losing by stoppage. Since that defeat, Covington has remained inactive inside the octagon for over a year. Instead of competing in the UFC, Covington has been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and has participated in events with the Real Action Fight (RAF) promotion. The UFC regularly removes inactive fighters from its rankings to maintain relevance and reflect current competitive standings in each division.
