Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of activity. Covington last fought in 2024 when he suffered a stoppage loss to Joaquin Buckley. Since that defeat, Covington has not competed inside the octagon. Instead, he has been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and has competed in RAF (Russian promotion). The removal from rankings is standard UFC protocol for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods.
