Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of recent fights. The former welterweight title challenger last competed in 2024 against Ian Machado Garry (referred to as Buckley in the original Russian post), losing by stoppage. Covington has not fought since that defeat, leading to his removal from the official rankings. Despite his absence from UFC competition, Covington has remained active in other ways, including ongoing litigation with Jorge Masvidal and appearing at RAF events. The UFC periodically removes inactive fighters from rankings to keep the lists current and relevant. Covington's removal marks a significant shift for a fighter who was long ranked among the division's elite.
