Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

The UFC has removed Colby Covington from the official rankings due to lack of fights. Covington's last bout was against Ian Machado Garry in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since that defeat, Covington has not competed in the UFC octagon. The post notes that while he is no longer ranked, Covington has been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and has competed for RAF (Russian promotion). The removal highlights the UFC's policy of removing inactive fighters from rankings.
