Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the official UFC welterweight rankings due to lack of activity. Covington last fought in 2024 when he suffered a finish loss to Joaquin Buckley. Since that defeat, he has not competed in the octagon and instead has been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and has made appearances at RAF events. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity. Covington has not announced any plans for his next UFC bout.
