Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of fights. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, Covington has not competed in the UFC. The post notes that Covington is currently involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and is competing in RAF instead of the UFC. His removal from the rankings reflects the promotion's policy on inactive fighters. This marks a significant development for the former title contender's UFC standing.
