If nothing else it speaks to the level of competetion he has faced and was preparing for. This is a big step up for him. To say it is irrelevant is pretty shortsighted, imo.
Sure if you want to fade him as he is green and making his UFC debut no problem.
The fact that the guy he was gonna fight has a bad record just isn't a reason to fade him. If anything I am just glad that he had a camp instead of being on short notice without a camp.
To me I just see 2 mediocre heavy weight and I am happy to take the hungry prospect as a slight dog.
For me HW fighting is so much about confidence/momentum. Spitz is going to be brimming with confidence as he is undefeated and getting his shot at the UFC. Godbeer is kinda struggling with the level of competition he has faced. Again, this is not an assessment of skill but strictly their confidence levels/momentum.
