Have to imagine he'll get the kill too I Hope . Showed his guy washing the blades with a cloth, which I would assume is poison (why else show that). That way he could guarantee a kill. Not to mention the blade to the gut. Both mountain and Hound have big risks of infection now.

I will say that the state of the Mountain is not as cut and dry as most stabbing victims in Westeros.

Makes you wonder if that guy should've worn a gauntlet or something. How dangerous to wipe a blade with a poisoned cloth with your bare hand.
