Fought back when pressured (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resisted

(Other definitions for resisted that I've seen before include "Sees dirt (anag)" , "Took stand with editress" , "Fought back" , "Is desert to be opposed?" , "Withstood a force" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
