Much arena activity for us (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

human race

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'us' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'much arena activity' is the wordplay.
'activity' indicates an anagram (letters become active).
'much'+'arena'='mucharena'
'mucharena' with letters rearranged gives 'HUMAN RACE'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for human race that I've seen before include "See 8" , "Mankind" , "All of us" , "Homo sapiens" , "We are all involved" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
