Kickboxing career

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. ^[2] In the semifinals he fought Surik Magakyan, and won by a first-round TKO. ^[3] In the tournament final, Menshikov fought Sher Mamazulunov. The fight went into an extra fourth round, after which Mamazulunov won a decision. ^[4]

In his next fight, Menshikov won an extra round decision against Ljubo Jalovi. ^[5] He won his next two fights against Vasiliy Semenov and Аli Al Ameri by KO. ^[6]

Glory

He made his Glory debut at Glory 60: Lyon on October 20, 2018, when he was scheduled to fight Samuel Dbili. ^[7] Menshikov won the fight by a first-round technical knockout. ^[8] He next appeared during Glory 62, on December 8, 2018, to fight Robbie Hageman. Menshikov once again won by a first-round technical knockout. ^[9]

Menshikov's next fight was outside of Glory, as he was booked to face Carlos Prates at Muay Thai Factory 1 on December 22, 2018. He won the fight by decision. ^[10]

Menshikov's next fight came ten months after his win over Prates. He was scheduled to fight Yoann Kongolo during Glory 69. ^[11] Dmitry won the fight by TKO, after the ringside doctor stopped the fight, due to a cut Kongolo suffered during the second round. ^[12]

Menshikov was scheduled to fight Mohamed Mezouari at Glory 78: Arnhem. ^{[13] [14]} Menshikov later withdrew from the bout and was replaced by Vedat Hoduk. ^[15]

Glory released Menshikov from their roster on June 17, 2022, in protest of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. ^[16]

Russia

Menskikov faced Maxim Sulgin at RCC 8 on December 19, 2020. He won the fight by unanimous decision. Menshikov next faced Ismail Uzuner at the February 5, 2022 event, following a fourteen-month absence from the sport. ^[17] He won the fight by unanimous decision. ^[18]

Menshikov faced Maxim Sulgin in the main event of RCC Fair Fight 18 on July 15, 2022. The bout was fought in MMA gloves. ^[19] 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. ^[20]

Menshikov faced Mehran Mohammadnia at Muaythai Factory on February 2, 2023. ^[21] He won the fight by a second-round technical knockout. ^[22]

ONE Championship

Menshikov has been booked to challenge Regian Eersel for the ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Championship at ONE Fight Night 11 on June 9, 2023. ^{[23] [24]} He lost the fight by a first-round knockout. ^[25]

Menshikov was scheduled to face Sinsamut Klinmee on September 30, 2023, at ONE Fight Night 14. ^[26] However, Sinsamut pulled out for injury and was replaced by Rungrawee Sitsongpeenong. He won the fight via three knockdowns technical knockout in the first round. ^[27]

Menshikov faced Mouhcine Chafi on December 9, 2023, at ONE Fight Night 17. He won the fight via knockout in the first round. ^[28]

Menshikov faced Sinsamut Klinmee on May 4, 2024, at ONE Fight Night 22. ^[29] He won the fight by a third-round knockout. ^[30]

On February 5, 2025, Menshikov served a legal notice to ONE Championship, sighting his intention to leave the promotion after his scheduled February 14 fight with newcomer Tengnueng Sitjaesairoong. Menshikov cited inactivity as a contributing factor to his departure while his legal team determined that ONE's failure to deliver on its obligations, such as offering him only one fight in 2024, constituted a breach of contract. ^[31]

Doping suspension

ONE Friday Fights 97

On 26 March 2025 it was announced that Menshikov failed a drug test after testing positive for fonturacetam and furosemide, prior to ONE Friday Fights 97. He was suspended by ONE Championship for only 6 months. ^[32]
