Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC rankings due to lack of activity, with his last fight occurring in 2024 against Joaquin Buckley, which he lost by stoppage. The former welterweight title challenger has not competed since that defeat. Despite being removed from official UFC rankings, Covington remains active in other capacities, including ongoing legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and competition in the RAF promotion. The removal from rankings typically happens when fighters go extended periods without booking fights in the UFC. Covington's future with the promotion remains unclear given his inactivity.
