Prepared to fight (3-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

set-to

'fight' is the definition.
(I know that set-to is a type of fight)

'prepared to' is the wordplay.
'prepared' becomes 'set' (set up or ready).
'set'+'to'='SET-TO'

(Other definitions for set-to that I've seen before include "Brief fight" , "Disagreement, fight" , "Scrap" , "brush with violence?" , "Fight, argument" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
