That would be big news. Would free up Gilbert Melendez, Josh 'Punk' Thomson, Josh Barnett, KJ Noons, Luke Rockhold, Nate Marquardt, Tyron Woodley, Keith Jardine, etc.
Vultures have been flying lazy circles high above its rotting carcass for a long time. Everyone assumed that its Showtime contract was the only thing keeping them on life support. Is Showtime pulling out?

@Bill it has been confirmed for weeks that the January card will be the final card.

From Middleeasy's Sunday Morning Rumor Mill:
This shouldn't be surprising, but Gegard Mousasi is in talks with the UFC but only under the condition that he drops to 185 lbs to 'fill out' the middleweight division.

Here is a snippet of a recent Mousasi interview:
He said his camp is in negotiations with the UFC, so expect to see him fighting in the Octagon.
“UFC is the biggest organization, so everyone’s goal is to be in the UFC,” Mousasi said. “The best thing is for me to go to the UFC as soon as possible. The UFC is the biggest and, if you can make your name there, that is the goal.”
When and if he gets there he said he plans to fight as a light heavyweight and would like to battle Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.
“That would be a good fight,” Mousasi said. “That would be an exciting fight. He’s the kind of guy who likes to fight. I like to fight guys like him who come to fight instead of fight(ing) to win.”
If he loses, however, Mousasi said he would drop down to 185 pounds and fight as a middleweight, a weight class he believes he could dominate in.

I want to believe that. I really like Mousasi. He has some really impressive performances... and than at times he had some that are lackluster.
I hope he's worked on his takedown defense.

Not only was Jardine a lot bigger than Mousasi, but look at what happened when he wasn't taking down Gegard...
