Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to a lack of fighting activity. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost via stoppage. Since then, Covington has not competed in the UFC, leading to his removal from the official rankings. The post notes that despite his absence from UFC competition, Covington has been active in legal matters, currently involved in a lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal. He has also been participating in events with the Russian promotion RAF. The removal from rankings is standard UFC procedure for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods without a scheduled return.
