Welcome, bloodthirsty spectators, to another thrilling day in the Roman murder dome! Are you not entertained?! First, a bit of history: Gladiator duels were introduced around 260 BCE as a wholesome funeral activity. Apparently we think honouring Grandpa involves watching two guys trying to stab each other.

Now, I'm obliged to tell you most of these fighters aren't here by choice. Slaves, criminals and Rome's least fortunate are about to be tossed into the sand in return for 15 minutes of fame. Sorry, but ancient Rome's entertainment industry doesn't have much in the way of ethical standards. With over 24 different fighting styles, these men have trained under brutal conditions for this moment. So, place your bets… will today's champion walk out of the arena or be carried out in pieces?
