Yeah, a dimachaerus would have worked indeed since it was an actual gladiator fighting style (with a Spartacus feeling on top of that).
But no Gladiator ever fought with a Cestus / Galdius combo.
The only gladiator who used cestus in other encounters than Pankration or Pugilat (antique boxing) was .... the Cestus, and he used only that, in pairs, with no other weapons.
