He also says that if the hit was intentional, Burfict would not have tucked his shoulder and arm in.

I going to add something to this. If you watch Shazier's hit on Gio, you'll notice Shazier tucks his head and leads with his helmet before the hit while Gio is still moving. Basically, he doesn't know where exactly he is going to hit Gio outside of it being lower than his head. Gio realized what was happening and froze for just a millisecond while he was deciding where to try and move. For this reason, and the fact that Shazier isn't know for headhunting, I give Shazier the benefit of the doubt. Vontaze should have had that same benefit of the doubt IMO.
