Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to prolonged inactivity. His last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by finish. Since then, Covington has been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and has been competing in RAF instead of the UFC. The removal from rankings typically happens when fighters remain inactive for an extended period without a scheduled bout.
