Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings due to lack of activity. His last fight was a TKO loss to Joaquin Buckley in 2024.

The UFC typically removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity.
