would you like to see the Gladiator fights to return? In todays society I think the closest we come is the UFC. I wouldn't want to see the animal sacrifices or human sacrafices, but Gladiatorial Fights short of death would be something I think might not be so bad.
What is your opinion?

Human sacrifices was pagan. In today's equivalent that would be like TV Networks sacrificing their athletes' safety for the sake of ratings and entertainment.

Galdiator's a good movie...The equivalent sport today is the UFC but it is a little safe because it is scientific and fighters are immediately separated when one appears to immediately get hurt...The ancient Gladiator fights have no space in our modern society now.

Hmmm...that would be interesting. I'm sure there are people out there that would be willing to do it. I'm sure I'd go and watch.

I loved everything about the movie i love films like this that bring back history, i think UFC would be the closest thing to the Gladiator fights , there is a form of martial art still being practiced today that involves the fighting style of Gladiators , you remember the short swords that are in gladiator that the gladiators used? they used them the whole martial art is based on how to fight with these swords and other various weapons
