Yes, the risk of getting hurt if you don't disengage with a slam is intended. But that particular injury wasn't intended, and I am sure you think that doesn't matter. But it would matter in a fight because if Usman intended to target that area, he would likely have made much more use of Khamzat having been injured, but the dude did very little in the last two rounds considering he was fighting an injured opponent. Seemed to me he wasn't even aware he injured Khamzat and if he had targeted that area he would have figured his attack to the hand had been successful and as a consequence would probably have shown more offense. It impacts the dynamic of the fight, whether something is specifically intended/targeted or not.
And yes, it is the logical reason why Khamzat didn't perform better. You can think that is lame. I don't care about what you think is lame. This is not a coolness contest. It has a significant impact on the fight and people are ignoring it and/or blaming the wrong thing.
So basically you are conceding you are not going to have a fair discussion and just want to be a naysayer who will only look at the negatives of Khamzat, because you are again ignoring my actual main point of people blaming the cardio for something largely caused by an injury.
