Ummm...language expert?
I don't recognize the phrase "take fight against" ... is this just a phrase I've never come across in my 20-odd years of speaking the language or did two idioms get blended together to make something horribly wrong?

Ah, headlinese. Leaving out the word "their" didn't really make this much shorter, but it did make it harder to read. Good catch.

Google sez 51,900 hits. Most of which are in headlines, of course.
I just wonder why they couldn't have chopped another word: "take"
