Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of fights. His last bout was against Joaquin Buckley in 2024, which he lost by stoppage. Despite being out of the rankings, Covington is currently involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and is competing in RAF. The removal from rankings typically occurs when fighters have extended periods of inactivity and do not have scheduled bouts. Covington's status as a former title challenger makes this removal notable, though the post does not indicate whether he has any upcoming fights scheduled with the UFC.
