Menshikov's next fight came ten months after his win over Prates. He was scheduled to fight Yoann Kongolo during Glory 69. Dmitry won the fight by TKO, after the ringside doctor stopped the fight, due to a cut Kongolo suffered during the second round.
Menshikov was scheduled to fight Mohamed Mezouari at Glory 78: Arnhem. Menshikov later withdrew from the bout and was replaced by Vedat Hoduk.
Glory released Menshikov from their roster on June 17, 2022, in protest of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

### RCC Fair Fight

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. He won the fight by unanimous decision.
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.
Menshikov faced Maxim Sulgin in the main event of RCC Fair Fight 18 on July 15, 2022. The bout was fought in MMA gloves. 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.

### 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. He lost the fight by a first-round knockout.
Menshikov was scheduled to face Sinsamut Klinmee on September 30, 2023, at ONE Fight Night 14. 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.

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.
