Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

The UFC has removed Colby Covington from the official welterweight rankings due to his lack of fights. Covington's last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, he has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and made appearances at RAF events rather than competing in the UFC. The removal from rankings reflects the promotion's policy on fighter activity.
