The UFC has removed Colby Covington from its official rankings due to an extended period without competing. Covington's last fight was against Ian Machado Garry in 2024, where he suffered a stoppage loss. Since that defeat, Covington has not booked another UFC bout. He has remained active outside the octagon, pursuing a lawsuit against Jorge Masvidal and making appearances at RAF events. The removal from rankings is standard UFC protocol for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods.
