Colby Covington has been officially removed from the UFC rankings following an extended period without competing. Covington's last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost via stoppage. Since then, he has remained inactive inside the octagon while focusing on other activities. He is currently involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has been competing in RAF (Russian Absolute Fighting). The UFC's decision reflects their policy of removing inactive fighters from official rankings.
