Colby Covington has been removed from the official UFC rankings due to lack of recent activity. The former interim welterweight champion last competed in 2024 when he suffered a knockout loss to Joaquin Buckley. Since that defeat, Covington has not booked another UFC fight. However, he remains active in other ways, including ongoing legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and participation in the RAF promotion. The removal from rankings is standard UFC procedure for fighters who remain inactive for extended periods.
