Divorce/Immigration Question??

Question:
I am a Mexican citizen, and a few years back I married an american citizen in Mexico. We then moved to AZ. I was on a tourist visa, and upon urging by his family, we got married (again) in the US, since they told me this would make filing for my residency easier. However due to a family emergency we had to move back to Mexico, and never filed a single paper. Shortly after, our marriage fell apart, and we got a divorce (terminating our mexican marriage). I never gave a second thought to the marriage in AZ. I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life in Mexico. Until now, when I am engaged to a man who is also an american citizen. Now we want to "do everything right" (i.e. get a K1 visa and such). So my question is :

Do I have to go to Arizona and "terminate" my American marriage, or will my Mexican divorce certificate be valid? It does state that I divorced the guy I married in AZ after all, right?
