Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to his prolonged absence from competition. Covington's last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, he has not competed inside the UFC octagon. Despite being removed from the rankings, Covington remains active in other capacities. He is currently involved in a legal dispute with Jorge Masvidal and has made appearances with the Russian promotion RAF. The removal from rankings is standard UFC policy for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods.
