Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings due to a lack of recent activity. His last fight was a knockout loss to Joaquin Buckley in 2024, and he has not competed since. Covington remains active outside the cage, currently involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and participating in events for the Russian promotion RAF. His removal from the rankings marks a significant shift in his standing within the UFC's official divisional hierarchy.
