Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings due to prolonged inactivity. His last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which ended in a stoppage loss. Since that defeat, Covington has not competed inside the octagon. Instead, he has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has made appearances at RAF events. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods without booking or competing in fights.
