Demetrious Johnson, Eddie Alvarez return at ONE: Dawn of Heroes in August

Former UFC champions Demetrious Johnson and Eddie Alvarez have been booked on the same card for the second time as they return at the upcoming ONE: Dawn of Heroes card from Manila in the Philippines on Aug. 2.

ONE Championship officials announced the card early Monday morning.

Johnson moved to ONE Championship in a rare trade that took place last year as the longest reigning champion in UFC history was shipped off to the Singapore based promotion in exchange for current welterweight contender Ben Askren.

He then made a successful debut as part of the roster back in March while punching his ticket into the semifinals of the ongoing ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix.
