Crickets are known to be kept for fighting in some parts of Asia. Certain species of crickets in Asia can't stand each other's presence when both are males. It is much like Betta fish fighting in Thailand.
When two male crickets face each other, both will start "sing" and a fight will follow. The victor is usually decided fairly quick and the loser will die if they are kept in the same small enclosure for extend period.
I have heard some gamblers in Asia use crickets fighting to gamble. It has a long history too. People would go catch wild crickets in the summer, and only keep the "good" ones in small enclosures. Some of them even feed gingseng and other herbs in hope of keep their crickets in top conditions for the fight. Crazy in my opinion.
