The Christians did not fight gladiators. Gladiators were professional athletes and there would be no point in them fighting (mostly) unskilled Christians. The closest to an actual gladiatorial fight would be when a condemned man, either a Christian or any other criminal, was given a sword and made to fight an opponent in the arena. If the condemned man won, another fighter was sent out against him, and this was repeated until the first man was killed.

The gladiators were mostly slaves. Some were criminals convicted to the arena. There were also a few volunteers. The gladiators did not fight for Rome. They were not a military force. They fought in the gladiatorial combats, which were public shows in the amphitheatres (arenas). The Romans loved the gladiatorial games.
The task of gladiators was to fight at the gladiatorial games. Individual gladiators may not have been chosen for every single game. However, if not, they would fight in one of the subsequent games.
