No, nobody can be a gladiator today. The gladiatorial games ended in the fifth century, for they began to be looked down upon, and it caused the extinction of some animals like the Barbary Lion. If anyone tried to be a real gladiator in the present, they would be charged with murder because the gladiators fought to the death against their will and the audiences thrived on the carnage. The closest thing you can get to a real gladiator would be at a reenactment festival, where the fighting would clearly be fake. If one goes to Rome, perhaps you may see a man merely attired in gladiatorial armour for the sake of tourism.
