Or do you think because he kept 5 dogs he 'deserved' to get bitten?
I don't know how anyone can pass judgement on the man, or the dogs yet, because we know virtually nothing about what went on. We only know the end result.
Plus, nowhere does it say these dogs were even his. It could have been a wild pack and he left a door open.

These dogs are soft, only humans make them vicious.
I too question the need for so-called fighting dogs.
Drugs dealer or fight breeder.
I'll go out on a limb with this one.

I grew up with Mastiffs and Staffies and a softer breed you'll not meet, in the right hands and environment.

This is the KC Breed Standard for the Bull Mastiff:Description
Illustration of Bullmastiff
A British breed evolved from the Old English Mastiff and the Bulldog. Primarily used as a guard dog and, in olden times, to help the gamekeeper in the apprehension of poachers.
Naturally intelligent and observant, he is easily trained but likes to have a reason for doing things. Highly spirited, he makes a happy companion who is totally reliable both physically and mentally. Devoted to the members of his human family, his bravery and courage in defending them against intruders are legendary. He can quickly assess a situation, and this, combined with his acute hearing, makes him an excellent house-dog. He is very strong, but amenable to kindly discipline.
I'd put money on it, that there is a lot more to this case.

Remember a few years ago my sister wanted a dog that was good with kids and as we'd grown up with the two breeds I mentioned she felt comfortable with opting for a Staff.
Her husband was dead against it(believed the bad press)so we asked our old vets advice, exactly the same two breeds were recommended.

ETA: The top comment from the article:
The dogs were all trapped in the flat and One dog died from smoke inhalation. this was traumatic enough they should of been in kennels and been looked after by kennel staff until the dogs had time to calm down and get over the shock of fire. now that poor man has been hurt helping a mate you can't blame it all on the dogs the owner has to take some of the blame. They needed them, they were stressed and scared in strange place with a man they didn't know that well, that if they knew him at all.
Lets all hope the man gets well soon and move on from this sorry mess
