I believe the answer is:

foray

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

'sally's' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'love for getting into a fight' is the wordplay.
'love for' becomes 'o' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'getting into' is an insertion indicator.
'a fight' becomes 'fray' (fray is a kind of fight).
'o' put into 'fray' is 'FORAY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for foray that I've seen before include "Sortie" , "Brief incursion" , "Brief attack" , ".A sudden attack or raid" , "Raid or incursion" .)
