Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of fighting activity. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, Covington has not competed in the octagon. He has instead been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and made an appearance at RAF. The removal from rankings typically occurs when fighters have extended periods of inactivity.
