Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC's official welterweight rankings due to a lack of fights. Covington last competed in 2024 when he lost by finish to Joaquin Buckley. Since then, he has remained inactive from UFC competition. However, Covington has been involved in other activities including a legal dispute with Jorge Masvidal and competing in RAF. The removal from rankings is standard UFC procedure for fighters who do not compete within a certain timeframe. Covington's future in the UFC remains uncertain.
