Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to a lack of fights. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since that defeat, Covington has not competed in the UFC. The post notes that while Covington is not fighting in the UFC, he is currently involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has been participating in events for the RAF promotion. Being removed from the rankings is a standard UFC practice for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods. This development raises questions about Covington's future in the UFC.
