In the books it's clearly stated that it was never really about the fight for Oberyn, the entire intent was to get The Mountain to admit to raping/murdering his sister and her children at the sack of King's Landing to expose Tywin. He was completely flustered that the Mountain, seemingly dying (in fact he knows he's dying since it's revealed that he poisoned his spear tips), would not admit to it and give him his true victory. It's because of this that his guard is down.
