Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings due to extended inactivity. His last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, Covington has not competed in the UFC but has been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and made an appearance at RAF. The removal from rankings is standard UFC protocol for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods. Covington's future in the promotion remains uncertain given his lack of recent activity.
