If you read the news post or even part of it, you would see that selling MK is just an option, no confirmation as of yet. IT even said in the newspost:

It should be noted that while Midway's filing is not an absolute announcement that Mortal Kombat will be sold off, the company currently has so much debt and so little incoming capital that the chances of Midway reorganizing itself into a manner that will get it out of bankruptcy are looking increasingly dim. We'll continue to keep an eye on this story. As we learn more, we'll report it here.

See? And besides, the MK Team would probably go with the MK Franchise.

There's one of these threads already. Here
