Yes and no. Gladiatorial combat was not a Greek entertainment, it was strictly a Roman occurance. However, once Rome conquered Greece and Roman influence filtered into the East, gladiatorial contests became popular there.

The emperor you are referring to is likely Commodus, who ruled Rome from 177 to 192 AD. He is often regarded as a mediocre and self-indulgent leader, more focused on personal pleasures and gladiatorial combat than on effective governance. His reign ended when he was assassinated in a conspiracy involving members of his own guard, including his trusted confidant, Narcissus. Commodus' death marked the end of the Nerva-Antonine dynasty and led to a period of instability in the Roman Empire.
The first Roman gladiatorial fight was in 264BC in the Middle Roman republic. They were popular throughout the Roman empire. Flavius Honorius decreed an end to the contests in 399AD, and they stopped being actually practiced some time after then. The actual duration of their presence is relatively unknown. Whether or not the games preceded this event, The Campanians, in 310 BC, celebrated their defeating the Samnites in the first Samnite War (343-341 BC) with the aid of Rome by pitching Samnite slaves against one another using armour they had captured during the war. The games became more popular throughout the Republic, and through the Imperial Era. In 399, Honorius tried to end the games by banning gladiatorial schools, thus lowering the quality of the games, and as he most likely hoped, the interest in the games. When the last games occurred is unknown, although in 440 AD, Bishop Salvius released a Pamphlet which directly attacked the games, although Gladiatorial games were not mentioned. (Gladiatorial games were only part of a larger set of games, including the Venatio, games with animals, and the midday execution of condemned criminals.) From this we can only assume that the games had ceased, as at this point Christians were trying to cease the games on a moral basis.
The Roman Colosseum was used for entertainment. One particular spectacle was gladiatorial combat. The Colosseum was designed with circular arena in the middle where the gladiators fought. There are bleachers for the audience. The main spectator for the match was the emperor.
