Not true at all. I was addicted to rats for a while and kept getting more until I had up to 10 at one time at some points (I had a small aviary that they lived in, so it was cool). At various stages, I was introducing a single rat to just one, or several, rats at a time (all intact males). I never once had a problem.
Rats will scuffle sometimes when establishing dominance... they do have a social structure and there will be an alpha, but rats rarely fight. If it's real fighting, there's blood involved.
The best method I found for introducing them was to do it somewhere neutral, like on the floor in another room. So no one feels territorial.
It's best to get him a friend, because rats can get really lonely.
