Colby Covington Removed from UFC Rankings Due to Inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC's official welterweight rankings due to prolonged inactivity. Covington's last fight was a 2024 loss to Joaquin Buckley, where he was finished. Since that defeat, Covington has not competed in the UFC, leading to his removal from the rankings system. The post notes that while Covington is no longer ranked, he remains involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and has competed for the RAF promotion. The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods without booking or competing in official UFC bouts.
