Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings due to lack of fight activity. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, where he lost by finish. Since then, Covington has been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and has competed in the RAF (Real American Fighting) promotion. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity. Covington's removal reflects his absence from the octagon for over two years.
