Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of activity. His last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost via stoppage. Since that defeat, Covington has not competed in the UFC, leading to his removal from the official rankings. Despite his absence from UFC competition, Covington has been involved in other activities including a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and an appearance at the RAF promotion. Removal from rankings is standard UFC procedure for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods. This development raises questions about whether Covington will return to active competition or continue pursuing ventures outside the octagon.
