Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the official UFC welterweight rankings due to lack of fighting activity. Covington's last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, where he suffered a stoppage loss. Since then, Covington has not competed inside the UFC octagon. His time away from active competition has been occupied with a legal dispute against Jorge Masvidal and an appearance at RAF. The removal from rankings is standard UFC protocol for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods.
