Did gladiators fight other gladiators?
Yes they did. Gladiators were owned and trained by sponsors ( similar to football teams today) and the different sponsors would match gladiators against each other. Often betting took place on the outcome of the battle. This was a big business owning gladiators and training them. A lot of prestige came with having the best "line up" of gladiators.

Beacause gladiators were slaves, they were slaves beacause they either commited a crime.

How did gladiatorial games begin?
In the ancient world, particularly in Rome, gladiatorial games began as an extension of the keen interest on the part of ancient peoples (again, principally Romans) in violent entertainment. Arranging to have gladiators fight publicly was also a way to demonstrate the power of the fight-organizers. Eventually, however, the gladiatorial games became a vital form of pacification: social unrest was avoided by giving citizens gladiatorial games as a distraction from their troubles.
What were the gladiators?
Gladiators were professional fighters who battled to entertain the public, politicians, and rulers of ancient Rome
