Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to his extended absence from competition. His last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, Covington has not competed in the octagon. The post notes that while out of competition, Covington has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has been appearing in RAF (likely a regional promotion). The removal from rankings is standard UFC procedure for fighters with prolonged inactivity.
