Maybe not stone dead KOs but he pretty much beat Strickland, Jiri and Hill with one punch, needed some follow up but they were badly hurt by a single punch when previously they were not in danger at all.Ankalaev is unlikable, but that's no reason to dismiss his skill. He has good striking, heavy hands, and a solid chin. He could keep the fight on the feet and if things get rocky he could dive for the takedown. Alex isn't untouchable on the feet and while he has power, it isn't Francis level where he is putting people out cold with one shot
Thinking you can stand with Alex and then switch to grappling if things look dicey I'd say is rather questionable, you could add as well he hurt Jiri's leg mostly with one lowkick.
