Just curious if anyone has any in-depth knowledge of Silva's BJJ game. He's pulled off some nice subs in the cage, and the Nogueira brothers are obviously legit, but does anyone know how much time he still puts into his ground game or if he regularly taps other high level guys that he trains with?

lol 
He obviously has amazing jiu jitsu judging by his ufc career alone. I would guess that he doesnt train enough bjj to win the top grappling tournaments though.
There is noway he taps 'high level guys' in training. Silva is simply NOT a high level bjj blackbelt. Watch Maia vs. Chael then watch Silva suffering for four and a half rounds. That said, Silvas bjj has always been effective in the octagon.
