    Once you take over a city you'll be able to send characters to the fighting pits to complete missions against Enemy Captains.

    Go to your "Army" screen. Find a couple of captains you don't care if one gets killed. Select one with cn_Y to issue a command, then hover over the second and hit cn_X to send them to the fighting pitt. Go to the fighting pitt and watch. After one dies, the achievement will unlock.

    NOTE: if you have any other pitt missions open. You'll have to complete that first.

    TirathianJust a heads up for anyone who is having difficulty getting this to pop:

    This achievement just randomly unlocked for me overnight, the time stamp shows it popped while I was at work. It's been about a week since I met the unlock conditions and I've started a new playthrough in the mean time. I had similar a thing happen for 'The Best Defense', so it might be that the achievements for this game are a bit glitchy.

    Arborist238I cant make my two followers fight. There is no option. I want to upgrade my level 19 legendary orc up by fighting a level 11 one. It doesn't give me an option for any of my orcs to fight eachother though?

    You can get two acheivements for one with this. 

    Find a captain that has a blood brother and dominate both of them. Once you have a Fort and have access to the Fight Pits, Command cn_Y on of them to go to the fight pits cn_Y with his Blood Brother. It doesn't matter who wins.

    this will also net you:
    Middle-earth: Shadow of WarBlood on BloodThe Blood on Blood achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of War worth 40 pointsMake a Captain kill his bloodbrother.

    If you havent already, you should also earn:

    MeerkatAUTrue. Forgot about those. haha.
    I'll leave it in the solution though, just in case there's a bug for some people, or they manage to get the other two first somehow.
    Plus, it might help others with the concept of what to do.
