Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the official UFC welterweight rankings due to prolonged inactivity. His last fight was a stoppage loss to Ian Machado Garry in 2024. Covington has not competed since then and has instead been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and made appearances at RAF events. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods without bouts. Covington's absence from the rankings reflects his current status outside active competition.
