So I guess today my roosters got in a fight like the usual I always separate them and stuff but one of my roosters broke it’s beak he’s eating fine and stuff but it’s still pretty concerning and it’s not all blood on his face some of it is mud I already put stuff on his cuts

It will be sore for a few days and then will harden up and be OK. The tip may fall off, but it will grow out and eventually look normal again. It may take some time, beaks grow slowly.
How many roosters do you have, and ages? If they are fighting then you really need to separate them permanently, or rehome some. About 10 hens per rooster is what usually works. If you continue to leave them together then you may end up dealing with much worse injuries. When roo's are fighting over hens, and for the dominant roo spot, it can get very brutal and bloody, they can even kill each other. This is instinct and hormones, there is no logic involved.
Solutions to too many roo's really come down to
A. Rehome extras (a challenge)
B. Have a separate set up that is Roo's only, often called a bachelor pad with no hens in sight to fight over.
C. Cull the extra's and make soup.
