two males will definitely fight. but some males can also be overly aggressive to females. you're better off keeping them in their own enclosure.

It is pretty easy to sex adult dragons. Just lay them down on a flat surface or on the palm of your hand (be careful they don't jump off). With your other hand, lift the tail up till it is about 90 degrees from the body, look at the area just before the vent (on the tail side). As you gently twist the tail slightly from side to side, look for either a single central bump or two bumps with a dimple in the middle. A single bump is female, two bumps is male.

There are pictures of this on the internet, a google search using sexing bearded dragons should find several sites with pictures.
