Matt Hughes verbally tapped to GSP in their third fight. It's usually when someone isn't physically able to tap out.

His other arm was free though?

not sure if you've ever rolled with high-level grapplers, but think of it like this (keep in mind, I didn't see the actual fight last night, just read the play-by-play). Fighters are trained to keep going for the sub until the ref stops them - there are plenty of examples of fighters who thought the opponent tapped when they didn't, and let go. So in that case, if a fighter is yanking on a limb of yours, and you can feel it start to pop/break, your gut reaction is to relieve some pressure any way you can, often with whatever free arm you have. Now if one arm is trapped in a sub, the other is trying support it so it doesn't break, how else do you tap? Thus, the verbal tapout.

Have you ever done jiujitsu before? If you don't tap, your arm snaps. Tapping = verbal submission. Same thing. Nogueira knows all about that too. Check his last fight with Frank Mir.

Good day.
