Rising featherweight Jose Miguel Delgado proudly represents the state of Arizona. Born the youngest of seven kids in Yuma, Delgado soon moved to the Greater Phoenix Area to train at The MMA Lab with the likes of Benson Henderson, Jared Cannonier and their vast roster of UFC athletes.

Before he makes the leap into his first main event spotlight at Noche UFC in Glendale, Arizona, Delgado gave UFC.com some of his favorite places to go, eat and spend time in the state.

Food

"When you're in Phoenix, you are welcome, Ron. It is one of the best taco shops out there. I love it so much, man. Growing up, they call me Gordo. They still call me go to the. I'm a fatty at heart. It's one of the best I go places."

"Taco Boys is also a classic out here."

"Let's double down the fattiness. Taco San Pedro was a staple growing up, and it's just it's so good and so good. You got to try it."

Outdoors

"If you're going out for a hike because you got those tacos off, man, you got to. Camelback is phenomenal. And I personally love pasta and Tom some of the most beautiful hikes you can get. These Arizona sunsets are supremely essential. I was so grateful to live in this city with such beautiful skies."

Coffee

"If you're in Yuma, Arizona, my hometown, you got to go to Cafecito for not just great coffee, but the ambiance of that place is something special. And if you know the history behind it, even more so."

"We also got a Phoenix special, A.T. Oasis. You got to go out there. Abdul (and) Anisha, they're the loveliest people. So, shout out to them, and they got the best coffee in the game."

YUMA, AZ (AZFamily) — A Yuma doctor held on a $50 million bond faces felony charges as his clinic closes, leaving patients worried about care and delayed medical records.

Signs posted outside the doctor’s clinic indicate it is closing, citing “circumstances beyond our control” and attributing the closure to the attorney general’s office. Patients said the notice has left them confused and concerned about their health care going forward.

The signs state: “Due to circumstances beyond our control—and caused by the Attorney General’s Office—we have to close our doors.”

Some patients said they previously received a call in June telling them the clinic would no longer take appointments starting in September.

Kara Cason said she and her father have been patients at the Bio Clinic — her father for about 15 years and Cason for about two. She said the signs went up yesterday, and she does not know what has changed since the June call.

“We were just here in June. We saw the doctor, and then we get told that,” Cason said.

The attorney general’s office has accused Dr. Ifran Fazil of defrauding the state’s Medicaid program, money laundering and possessing dangerous drugs. A judge earlier this month denied his request to lower the $50 million bond or to allow him to be placed on house arrest.

Cason said she is her father’s caregiver and that the situation has been stressful for patients.

“I don’t know how many patients, consumers, everyone is just probably confused and stressed out. I mean my dad and I are. I am my dad’s caregiver,” she said.

Cason said after receiving the June call, her family signed medical release forms to transfer her father’s care to a different clinic. But she said she is still waiting for those records.

“For what I am told, they are still two months behind on sending out medical information; everyone’s medical information and it doesn’t matter if you paid the $25,” she said.

The signs also direct patients with questions about medical records, appointments or other concerns to contact the Arizona attorney general’s office.

The Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation (GYEDC), in partnership with the City of Yuma and the Arizona Commerce Authority, is proud to announce that Kimberly-Clark Corporation is constructing in Yuma, Arizona one of its newest U.S. facilities, a 50,000-square-foot pilot facility representing a capital investment of over $100 million.

The project is well under construction and expected to create approximately 50 full-time jobs at competitive compensation levels, further strengthening the region’s advanced manufacturing and sustainable industry base.

“We welcome Kimberly Clark! This investment is a perfect example of building upon our historical and strong agricultural industry, while developing our future innovation industries,” said Mayor Douglas Nicholls, City of Yuma.

“This monumental announcement reflects the strength of Greater Yuma’s competitive manufacturing advantages and the value of strong regional partnerships,” said Greg LaVann II, CEO/President of the Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation. “Our strategic location with direct access to major domestic/international markets, a reliable energy supply, and an abundant workforce provide the foundation for companies like Kimberly-Clark to succeed. We are honored that Kimberly-Clark has chosen Greater Yuma for this significant investment and are committed to supporting the company’s long-term success.”

“Kimberly‑Clark’s decision to establish a new alternative natural fiber pilot facility in Yuma is a tremendous win for Arizona,” said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “This investment reflects not only the strength of Yuma County’s advanced manufacturing and agricultural assets, but also Arizona’s growing leadership in sustainable industry. We’re proud to partner with GYEDC and the City of Yuma to support Kimberly‑Clark as they expand their innovative, sustainability‑focused operations in our state.”

“Yuma offers a unique combination of agricultural expertise, natural resources, and talent that make it an ideal location for our alternative natural fiber facility,” said Michael Todd, Vice President and Managing Director of Kimberly-Clark. “This investment reflects our commitment to exploring rapidly renewable fiber sources that have the potential to enhance the future of our products. Just as importantly, it represents an opportunity to invest in a community that shares our spirit of innovation and stewardship. We appreciate the continued partnership of the City of Yuma, Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation, the Arizona Commerce Authority, local growers, and community stakeholders, and we look forward to building on that collaboration as we help support greater Yuma’s ongoing growth and success.”

The Yuma pilot facility will extract useful fibers from hesperaloe, a low-water-use and rapidly renewable plant native to Arizona and elsewhere the Southwest United States, which have the potential to be used in the Company’s future hygiene products. The pilot facility is expected to be complete and begin operations in 2027.

The new Yuma pilot facility’s focus on natural fibers aligns with Kimberly-Clark’s global sustainability goals and reinforces the Greater Yuma region’s position as a leader in agriculture technology, renewable resources, and advanced manufacturing.

Yuma’s unique assets, including its year-round agricultural production, proximity to California and Mexico markets, robust transportation networks, and available industrial land make it an ideal location for agriculture-related operations.
