Yes and no. At the beginning, yes, combatants fought to the death. However when the sport became professionalized very few deaths were deliberately carried out. Gladiators were expensive properties and their owners and trainers took care of them very well. Only condemned criminals were made to fight to the death once the sport became organized.
