I would love to hear the opinion of some native speakers about my ancestor from the 1600s whose occupation is mentioned as "lutador."

It is defined as fighter or wrestler, but in a society (Terceira) where people are more concerned with feeding their families than entertainment, could this really be the meaning? Maybe a bull fighter, since Terceira does have them these days. But I was thinking maybe it's more like a soldier which is usually listed as soldado.

Obrigado,
