Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC's official rankings due to lack of fighting activity. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which ended in a stoppage loss for Covington. Since that defeat, Covington has not competed in the octagon, instead focusing on his lawsuit against Jorge Masvidal and appearances at RAF events. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity to keep the rankings current and reflective of active competitors.
