Early years

Menshikov participated in the 2017 Tatneft Cup 80 kg tournament. In the first, quarterfinal, bout of the tournament, Menshikov was scheduled to fight Constantin Rusu. Dmitry won the fight by a second-round TKO.[4] In the semifinals he fought Surik Magakyan, and won by a first-round TKO.[5] In the tournament final, Menshikov fought Sher Mamazulunov. The fight went into an extra fourth round, after which Mamazulunov won a decision.[6]

In his next fight, Menshikov won an extra round decision against Ljubo Jalovi.[7] He won his next two fights against Vasiliy Semenov and Аli Al Ameri by KO.[8]

Glory

He made his Glory debut at Glory 60: Lyon on October 20, 2018, when he was scheduled to fight Samuel Dbili.[9] Menshikov won the fight by a first-round technical knockout.[10] He next appeared during Glory 62, on December 8, 2018, to fight Robbie Hageman.

Menshikov's next fight came ten months after his win over Prates. He was scheduled to fight Yoann Kongolo during Glory 69.[12] Dmitry won the fight by TKO, after the ringside doctor stopped the fight, due to a cut Kongolo suffered during the second round.[13]

Menshikov was scheduled to fight Mohamed Mezouari at Glory 78: Arnhem.[14][15] Menshikov later withdrew from the bout and was replaced by Vedat Hoduk.[16]

Glory released Menshikov from their roster on June 17, 2022, in protest of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[17]

As a protest against the ongoing 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Glory terminated all their Russian athletes contracts, including Menshikov's, on June 20, 2022.[20]

Menshikov faced Maxim Sulgin in the main event of RCC Fair Fight 18 on July 15, 2022. The bout was fought in MMA gloves.[21] He won the fight by unanimous decision. Three judges scored the fight 29–28 for Menshikov, while the remaining two judges scored the fight 30–27 and 30–29 in his favor.[22]

Menshikov faced Mehran Mohammadnia at Muaythai Factory on February 2, 2023.[23] He won the fight by a second-round technical knockout.[24]
