Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to a lack of activity. His last fight was a knockout loss to Joaquin Buckley in 2024, and he has not competed since. Despite being removed from the rankings, Covington remains active outside the octagon, currently involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and scheduled to compete in RAF. The UFC routinely removes fighters from rankings after extended periods of inactivity.
