Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC's welterweight rankings due to his prolonged absence from competition. Covington last fought in 2024, when he suffered a finish loss to Joaquin Buckley. Since that defeat, he has not competed in the octagon, instead focusing on his lawsuit against Jorge Masvidal and appearances in other organizations like RAF. The UFC regularly removes fighters from rankings when they have not competed for an extended period. Covington's removal marks a significant shift for the former title challenger who was once a fixture in the top five.
