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 loss to Joaquin Buckley by stoppage in 2024. Despite the ranking removal, Covington remains active outside the octagon, currently involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and competing in RAF. The UFC periodically removes inactive fighters from rankings to keep the lists relevant. This move suggests Covington has no immediate UFC bout scheduled.
