Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to a lack of activity. His last fight was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which ended in a loss by stoppage. Since that defeat, Covington has not competed in the UFC, leading to his removal from the official rankings. Despite being inactive in UFC competition, Covington has been involved in other activities, including a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and appearing at RAF events. The removal from rankings is standard UFC protocol for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods, though it marks a significant shift for the former interim welterweight champion who was once a regular title contender.
