After Team Europe dominated the Americans in back-to-back fights at the end of last week’s telecast, sharp-tongued coach Conor McGregor is overflowing with pride and congratulating his combatants, as expected. Jubilation is rife in the locker room and the Irishman can feel the overall victory of his team becoming a reality.

Both teams are caravanned far out of the Las Vegas city limits, deep into the Mojave Desert. It’s unknown how hot it is during the filming of this scene, but it’s obvious that it is windier than a political debate.
