Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the official UFC rankings due to lack of fighting activity. His last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost via stoppage. Since then, Covington has not competed in the octagon. He is currently involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has made an appearance at RAF (Russian promotion). The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity. Covington's absence from active competition and the rankings marks a significant shift in his status within the welterweight division.
