Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the official UFC rankings due to lack of fights. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by finish. Since then, Covington has not competed in the UFC octagon, leading to his removal from the welterweight rankings. He is currently involved in a legal dispute with Jorge Masvidal and has made an appearance at RAF. The UFC periodically removes inactive fighters from rankings to keep divisions current and competitive.
