Overview
- The UFC’s official update Tuesday removed Colby Covington and Gilbert Burns from the top 15, moving Mike Malott to No. 11 and Yaroslav Amosov to No. 15.
- Malott earned his spot by knocking out Burns in the UFC Winnipeg main event on Saturday.
- Covington has been inactive, last competing in December 2024 in a loss to Joaquin Buckley, and he has not won since March 2022.
- The removal ends Covington’s top-15 run that began in 2017 after his breakthrough win over Demian Maia.
- After the drop, unranked welterweight Ramiz Brahimaj called out Covington on X, suggesting they fight since both are coming off losses.
