Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC's official welterweight rankings due to lack of activity. Covington's last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, he has been involved in legal proceedings against Jorge Masvidal and has competed in RAF rather than the UFC. The removal from rankings reflects the UFC's policy on fighter inactivity and could impact Covington's future matchmaking opportunities.
