It is criminal how uninformed MMA judges are. After talking to some other clueless people, the only plausible explanation is that Kennedy was on "top" of Roger, even though Roger was on his back. I ran into a supposedly trained grappler that couldn't differentiate between being mounted and having guard. To him, they were both "a guy on top of a guy". So I can only assume that since Roger was underneath holding the back, the judges mustve seen "a guy top of a guy" and scored it as such.
Sadly, I really do think it is that bad.

So . . . that Anderson Silva . . . he never really was very good, was he?
I heart cock
It may have been "punch counting". Kennedy supposedly landed 20 total strikes, Roger 8. I think judges just fall back to counting strikes.
• If one guy outlanded the other, I always try to keep open the possibility that some judges will score it for him, whatever else happened.
• If one guy was on top for more of the round, I always try to keep open the possibility that some judges will score it for him, whatever else happened.
"Anderson's rematch is fair; the guy ruled the division for a long time. He maybe didn't really want to fight for the belt again but the UFC demanded it. I believe it wasn't only Anderson's intentions that prevailed in this situation." - Lyoto Machida
