Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of recent fights. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which ended in a stoppage loss. Since that defeat, Covington has not competed inside the octagon. The removal from the rankings is a standard UFC practice for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods. Meanwhile, Covington has been involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has made appearances at RAF (Russian promotion) events. The post notes the irony that while absent from UFC competition, Covington remains active in other capacities.
