New England Fights (“NEF”) presents its next event “NEF 69: Crossfire” on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine. The promotion returns to the arena portion of the venue for the first time since May 2025. The event is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and kickboxing bouts. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster. The event is being brought to Bangor by Long Coast.

Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur MMA bout to the card. Gus Irwin (0-0) will meet Nathaneal Hauser (0-0) at a fight weight of 185 pounds.

Gus Irwin will make his amateur debut in the fight with Hauser. He is the cousin of Victor Irwin who is a former NEF amateur light heavyweight champion. Gus Irwin represents Young’s MMA.

Nathaneal Hauser will also be making his amateur debut at “NEF 69.” Hauser is a member of Black Bear BJJ where he trains alongside undefeated MMA competitor Avry Jones (3-0).

“The folks that know me, know how much work I’ve been doing in preparation for this fight,” said Hauser. “I’m in the gym everyday training with people of all different styles and disciplines. I’ve been preparing for this long before I decided to make my debut. I have a traditional martial arts background, and it excites me that I get to demonstrate my style in MMA and show I am more than a one-dimensional fighter.”

“NEF 69” takes place on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine. Doors will open at 6 pm with the first fight taking place at 7 pm. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster. The event is being brought to Bangor by Long Coast.
