Colby Covington has been removed from the official UFC rankings due to a lack of recent fights. Covington last competed in 2024 against Buckley, losing by stoppage. Since that defeat, he has not returned to the octagon. The post notes that Covington is currently involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and has made appearances at RAF events. Being removed from the rankings is a significant development for a former top contender. The move reflects the UFC's policy of updating rankings based on fighter activity.
