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.
