Who did gladiators battle?
I guess you are referring to Tigris of Gaul. He fought with a sword. Tigris of Gaul was a gladiator who was "undefeated". However, he was defeated by Maximus Meridius. Tigris faced the ex-general Maximus Meridius in the Colosseum in 180 AD. He was announced as "The only undefeated Gladiator" by the host of the games, Cassius. The match was unfair for Maximus, because the emperor Commodus sent three tigers to attack him and kill because he hated him. Tigris was stabbed in the foot by Maximus, who was bleeding after slaying a tiger. Leaning down, blood came from his mask's mouth and he collapsed to the ground. The audience wanted Maximus to kill the "undefeated" defeated Gladiator, but Maximus mercifully spared the Gladiator. This earned him the title "Maximus the merciful" from the crowd and angered Commodus.

Why were the games played in the coliseum used in Roman Society?
Public entertainment was provided in huge venues, the most famous of which was the Colosseum in Rome. The entertainment took the form of combat, and people called gladiators fought each other, or wild animals like lions, to the death. Generally, gladiators were condemned criminals, prisoners of war, or slaves. Professional gladiators were free men who volunteered to participate in the games. Gladiators were paid each time they fought. Criminals who had been found guilty of murder and condemned to death went into combat without weapons. When one of the gladiators in a contest was wounded, the crowd went wild. If one of the gladiators felt he was defeated, he would raise his left hand with one finger extended. This was to ask for mercy. It is believed that the crowd voted for death or to spare him by signalling with their thumbs: thumbs up and the gladiator lived, thumbs down and his opponent was to kill him.
