Colby Covington removed from UFC rankings due to inactivity

Colby Covington has been removed from the UFC welterweight rankings due to lack of fighting activity. Covington last competed against Ian Machado Garry in 2024, losing by stoppage in that bout. Since then, he has not taken another UFC fight. The post notes that while removed from UFC rankings, Covington has been involved in legal proceedings with Jorge Masvidal and has competed in the RAF organization. The UFC periodically removes inactive fighters from official rankings to maintain relevance and accuracy in divisional standings. Covington's removal marks a significant shift for the longtime welterweight contender who was previously a fixture in the top rankings. His future with the UFC remains uncertain given his extended absence from competition within the promotion.
