In hindsight, does May/Mac get sanctioned w/o ufc backing?

The more I think about it and re-watch the fight, it was dangerous to put someone who has never displayed the ability to fight 12rnds in the ring w/ a champion boxer. I do not think the NSAC would have sanctioned this w/o the ufc involvement. Which brings me to the ufc, shouldn't they have done everything they could have to stop this? If Conor was fighting a power puncher and got that tired, his life would have been in danger. Then they helped him get 8oz gloves. At some point you need to save people from themselves if you have the power to do so, as the nsac and ufc did.
 
The NSAC lives by the morals of business, meaning anything gets sanctioned if it has enough money behind it.
 
It is interesting how PRIDE couldn't get Butterbean vs Mark Hunt sanctioned and the UFC couldn't get Mir vs Sylvia 2 sanctioned, but McGregor vs Mayweather wasn't a big enough mismatch to the NSAC.
