Oberyn, who was fighting the battle as Tyrion's champion, wanted to avenge his sister's brutal murder by the Mountain and he almost did it by stabbing the cruel Clegan on his chest.

"You raped her. You murdered her. You killed her," Oberyn yelled at the wounded Clegan.

However, the Mountain flipped over and killed the Red Viper in the same manner he killed his sister, gouging his eyes and then exploding his head.
