Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings due to a lack of recent activity. Covington's last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which ended in a stoppage loss. Since that defeat, Covington has not competed inside the octagon. The post notes that instead of fighting, Covington has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has participated in events for the RAF promotion. The UFC periodically removes inactive fighters from official rankings to keep the divisional standings current and relevant.
