*¿Deben ser plural? -- No, they shouldn't. You don't mean their arms, but rather you're using an idiom "a brazo partido", so it's invariable.

Gracias amigos

No, Bob, you're not implying they're going to do any "arm wrestle", but rather that they will have a personal determination to do their best ("fight" in a figurative sense) to win the matches.
