Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings after an extended period of inactivity. His last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which ended in a stoppage loss. Since then, Covington has been involved in a legal dispute with Jorge Masvidal and has also competed in other ventures outside the UFC. The post notes that Covington remains absent from active competition and is no longer ranked in the official UFC standings. No statement from Covington or his team regarding a potential return is mentioned. This is a significant development for a fighter who was once a top contender.
