I had 2 sieges that resultet in a large amount of caged prisoners due to my extreme-fortress-cage-trap-makeover. I got something like 10-20 goblin invaders, 2 goblien thiefs and...10 cave dragons 

So, now to my question: I've built a little arena (a big "hole" and alot of chairs above/aorund and made it a meeting area) where I placed one of the caged cave dragons. Then I designated one of my goblin thiefs to a pit/pond (just one z-level fall so no damage) so he was dropped into the arena. I then released the cave dragon via a lever and was just about to witness some good-old-gladiator-goodies but then....the cave dragon and the goblin thief didn't fight each other...they're just standing there, going around each other talking about wind,weather a the latest news from home I guess...

So, the cave dragon and goblin thiefs are friends? Which creatures are friends or not?

The cave dragons, having come with the siege, are members of the goblin entity. Therefore they won't attack goblins.

You MIGHT be able to, if cave dragons breed at all, get them to breed, and then carefully separate them from their parents and rear them. Or alternatively you can go capture jabberers and dralthas from the caves yourself.

Or just magma. Either or.

the cave dragon and the goblin are friends.

You won't want your dwarves to watch anyway.  If the gladiators are unchained the sight of them will frighten dwarves, they won't drink and have fun.  One way to do this is to line the arena with glass walls, which dwarves cannot see through, but you can of course just pretend they're enjoying the show.

Chain prisoners, send recruits fight them. It's hilarious sight.

Hehe..that last sentence made me laugh out loud. Thanks

Guess I'll chain them up and let my fragile soliders put there trust in Armok...

Knowing recruits, I suggest you disarm the goblin. If you want, you can even the your dwarves wooden weapons to beat the crap out of them to make it last longer. I am assuming you know how to disarm a captured goblin. Anyways, Kudos to you!

attempting to chain a goblin without disarming it first is a very bad idea.  But for even more fun, give the recruits training swords.
