Except that it was planned, for at least three rounds.

Note that Roy sees Zz'dtri being hauled away in chains, then runs to each of the three pillars in turn(okay, he crawls to the third one), and taunts Thog from in front of each of them. He is deliberately manipulating Thog into weakening the structural stability of the arena. It could be argued he had this idea in mind as soon as he landed in the stands, and that's why he shooed away all the spectators.

It's right up there with enticing the half-ogre with a spiked chain to fall off a cliff.
