'people' is the definition.
(gladiator is a kind of person)

'out at a girls' do' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram.
'at'+'a'+'girls'+'do'='atagirlsdo'
'atagirlsdo' is an anagram of 'GLADIATORS'.

'fighting may be put' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
