I need help to figure out what breed my rooster is. I know he is a bantam and I remember reading up on the breed when we first got him and I remember reading the breed was used for cock fighting.

What a handsome little man!
He looks like an Old English Game to me. I’m blanking on the exact name of his coloration. OEGBs come in a lot of different colors. Here are some examples:

I'm not sure if he's a mix or not. That bit of white on his earlobes indicates he could be, plus his long neck. Both are not typical qualities of old English game bantams, at least not show quality. If he is a purebred old English game bantam, his coloring most closely approximates blue brassy back. That's my take, anyway.
