Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to prolonged absence from competition. His last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Despite the ranking removal, Covington remains active in other capacities—he is currently involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has competed in RAF. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity to keep the rankings current and relevant.
