Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the official UFC rankings due to a prolonged absence from competition. Covington last fought in 2024, suffering a stoppage loss to Joaquin Buckley. Since then, he has not competed inside the Octagon and has instead been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and appearances at other events. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity. Covington's removal reflects his lack of competitive action over the past year.
