Dude it's not that easy to break those weapons, they aren't like spears where it's easy to crack the wooden pole. Wouldn't it take a couple thousand pounds of force to break one? Plus Gannicus is by far the faster man, and he literally takes a giant crap on Gregor's skill. In the show wasn't he was destroying men of Gregor's strength range?

And it's also near impossible to stab or cut through steel armor (which Gregor has) with iron/bronze swords (which Gannicus has). Gannicus has never faced someone with that kind of armor.
Plus unlike The Viper, Gannicus won't have the reach advantage of a spear so he can't simply dance around The Mountain and striking from out of range. Gannicus would need to get in close to land a hit, which probably won't have any effect. And we know what happens when you get close to The Mountain.
