Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of fighting activity. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Since then, Covington has not competed in the UFC octagon. Despite being removed from the rankings, Covington remains active in other pursuits, including an ongoing lawsuit with Jorge Masvidal and appearances in the RAF promotion. The removal from rankings typically occurs when fighters have extended periods of inactivity and no scheduled bouts.
